School CPD planning, attendance and follow-up evidence
Student Radar helps school leaders plan CPD, prepare materials and retain staff attendance and evaluations. Sessions connect to priorities and training requests, with follow-up evidence used to review changed practice rather than infer it from attendance or a participant rating.
Staff choose and review development. Registration, attendance, participant ratings and evidence of changed practice remain distinct.

Keep the session context available on a phone
The selected Follow-up section remains reachable within the session dialog.
A retained record with a clear professional decision
Staff choose and review development. Registration, attendance, participant ratings and evidence of changed practice remain distinct.
An accurate record of participation and materials
Registered places, actual attendance, evaluations and approved material versions retain their separate meanings.
A follow-up review grounded in new evidence
Agreed notes and reporting support a deliberate next review without treating attendance or a certificate as proof of impact.
Questions about CPD
Can CPD sessions connect to school priorities and training requests?
Yes. Sessions can link to priorities and training requests so staff development retains its agreed purpose.
Can we record attendance and review what happened afterwards?
Yes. Retain session attendance and evaluations, then record the follow-up evidence to revisit. Attendance alone does not establish mandatory completion or changed practice.
