A review record that preserves the actual gap
Status, review date and a specific note distinguish what was checked from what remains unfinished.

Alternative Provision / AP Compliance Checklist
AP compliance duty reviews and evidence follow-up
Student Radar helps alternative provision teams review applicable duties, record their judgement, link controlled evidence and assign the next review. Staff retain evidence gaps and review dates; a green label, completed task or uploaded file does not establish that every duty has been met.
The provision’s responsible people decide what the evidence supports. A status, uploaded file, completed task or registration signal does not establish legal compliance or obtain regulatory approval.
Check context, record the decision, review the result
Keep compliance decisions connected to evidence, owners and the next review.
Review the applicable duty catalogue, record the judgement and evidence gaps, link controlled documents and give the next review a clear owner and date.
01
Read the duty, evidence and next review together
The placement-register example remains Needs attention with no linked evidence and a named review responsibility.
02
Describe what was checked and what remains
The fictional review note states that the signed agreement still needs linking.
03
Return to a retained review decision
The note is saved while Needs attention and the missing evidence remain visible.

Choose supporting records deliberately
The actual picker exposes a fictional document’s source and version before linking it.
AP Compliance Checklist
File evidence with its purpose and confidentiality
Title, destination, confidentiality and file are checked before Upload and link.

Keep unknown facts visible in registration review
The fictional pupil’s missing hours and status facts remain unknown; the indicator makes no regulatory decision.
AP Compliance Checklist
Review the duty and responsibility on a phone
The fictional duty, evidence controls, owner/date and saved note remain together at phone width.
A clear record for the responsible team
The provision’s responsible people decide what the evidence supports. A status, uploaded file, completed task or registration signal does not establish legal compliance or obtain regulatory approval.
Supporting evidence that can be found and reviewed
Controlled-document links preserve the source, file/version information and access boundary instead of treating a title alone as proof.
A next review with a responsible person and honest inputs
Owned work and dates support follow-through while missing pupil facts remain explicit in registration review.
Questions about AP Compliance Checklist
Can we link existing documents or upload supporting evidence?
Yes. The checklist supports linked controlled documents and new supporting evidence, with document access checked separately from the duty record.
Can each duty review have an owner and next review date?
Yes. Record who will review it next and when, then use assigned follow-up and later evidence reviews to follow evidence gaps through.

The value of a connected school
A placement touches more than the timetable.
Provider staff use the same safeguarding and health tools as mainstream schools, and commissioning schools on Student Radar have their own side of the placement.

Safeguarding + Alternative Provision
Raise a concern from the pupil you are working with
Provider staff can raise a concern, and authorised DSLs work it on the DSL Action Board, with the chronology and record transfer in the same place. Attendance, review and timetable views shared about a named learner leave out protected record types. Staff see summaries and only the records they are separately authorised to open, and a link does not give wider access.

Check medical needs before an off-site session
Authorised staff can check medical needs, medications and healthcare plans for the young people in the provision before a session, and record first aid when something happens.

See the placement from the commissioning school’s side
Schools that commission placements keep a provider register with due-diligence checks, placement checks before, during and after the placement, and an evidence pack they can export.
