Safeguard / Safeguarding Analytics

Safeguarding Analytics: inspect the cases behind the figures

Student Radar helps authorised safeguarding staff review permitted school figures, examine recorded-date trends and open cases needing attention, with freshness and coverage kept visible.

Authorised staff interpret the source and decide the response. A count or faster closure does not establish pupil safety or impact.

Fictional example in the actual application.

Safeguarding assurance

From source evidence to a professional review

Review current safeguarding workload and recorded-date trends with denominator, coverage and freshness alongside the numbers.

  1. 01

    Follow a current figure to its permitted cases

    Open the queue matching a current metric, inspect its rows and follow the current source case for the professional decision.

  2. 02

    Keep the trend’s date basis visible

    The monthly period changes the recorded-date trend. Current headlines and queues still describe accessible records across all dates; historical open caseload is unavailable.

  3. 03

    Read timing with usable-date coverage

    Compare response and closure figures only with the number of cases supplying usable dates. Missing recorded timing is not proof that no action occurred.

Safeguarding Analytics

Follow a current figure to its permitted cases

Open the queue matching a current metric, inspect its rows and follow the current source case for the professional decision.

  • Count and membership share a source revision
  • Current case access checked separately
  • Missing owner and review indicators remain explicit
Fictional example.

Safeguarding Analytics

Keep the trend’s date basis visible

The monthly period changes the recorded-date trend. Current headlines and queues still describe accessible records across all dates; historical open caseload is unavailable.

  • Three, six or twelve monthly periods
  • Missing report and closure dates visible
  • Current backlog distinct from past activity
Fictional example.

Safeguarding Analytics

Read timing with usable-date coverage

Compare response and closure figures only with the number of cases supplying usable dates. Missing recorded timing is not proof that no action occurred.

  • Closure denominator and missing dates
  • First-action timing unavailable where absent
  • Group source limits and suppression preserved
Fictional example.

A review with its evidence intact

Authorised staff interpret the source and decide the response. A count or faster closure does not establish pupil safety or impact.

A focused next review

Move from an aggregate signal to the authorised source case.

A fairer comparison

Keep date basis, missingness and denominator in the discussion.

A clearer assurance account

Explain what the current figures establish and what remains uncertain.

Questions about Safeguarding Analytics

Can safeguarding staff inspect cases behind a metric?

The Safeguarding Metrics page includes current-metric routes to matching cases, alongside record-quality, workload and trend reviews.

The value of a connected school

Each concern has a wider context.

Relevant records help authorised safeguarding staff build the chronology, ask questions and record their own decisions.

Follow a connection to see what it makes possible

Relevant context, with access set by each staff member’s role and responsibilities. Staff decide the response.

  1. First aid + Safeguard

    Review the incident in the pupil’s chronology

    First aid records preserve what happened, the care given and the follow-up. Authorised safeguarding staff can consider relevant health context when reviewing a concern.

    Explore first aid
  2. Attendance + Safeguard

    Check changes across the school week

    Attendance patterns give staff another line of enquiry around a concern. They support a conversation and a review; the safeguarding decision remains with the responsible staff.

    Explore attendance
  3. SEND + Safeguard

    Keep the pupil’s communication needs in mind

    Relevant pupil plans and agreed strategies help authorised staff prepare for a conversation, involve the right colleagues and record what the pupil says.
