DSL Action Board in action. Bring open concerns, ownership, priority and overdue work into one controlled board without flattening the complexity of a case.

Questions for the working day

The questions this answers

What needs attention today?

The board holds the open work by stage, with what is new and what is waiting shown apart.

Which reviews are overdue?

Review states sit on the case, and overdue reads as overdue.

Who owns it?

Cases carry their owner when one is assigned, and the unassigned ones show as exactly that.

What is still untriaged?

Untriaged concerns stay visible until a decision moves them.

Evidence in context

The board as the DSL's working day

Stages, owners, review states and ageing in one place.

  • Open work by stage with ageing visible

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.
