Safeguard / Raise Concern
Raise Concern: record the facts and confirm what reached the team
Student Radar helps school staff record a disclosure, observation or adult-related concern in their own words, then check the reference and attachments that reached the safeguarding team.
A sent reference is an acknowledgement, not proof that a safeguarding lead has read the report or acted.
Safeguarding work
From recorded facts to an authorised next step
Help staff record observations, disclosures and adult concerns without having to make the safeguarding classification themselves.
01
Choose the report that fits
The start page separates a child’s disclosure, something noticed, a concern about an adult and a report about your own conduct. Each route asks for the relevant facts and explains the receiving route.
02
Keep observation and interpretation clear
Write what you saw or heard, what you did and what remains uncertain. Review the person, timing and routing before choosing the final send action.
03
Keep the reference and know the next boundary
The confirmation gives a reference and next-step guidance. Recent-report metadata supports a later status check while the restricted case remains with the safeguarding team.

Raise Concern
Keep the reference and know the next boundary

- Reporter metadata without broad case access
- Follow urgent school arrangements directly
Keep the decision and its evidence clear
A sent reference is an acknowledgement, not proof that a safeguarding lead has read the report or acted.
A deliberate submission
Check the selected people, urgency and original account together.
A traceable handover
Keep the report reference and check its available acknowledgement state.
Questions about Raise Concern
Do staff need to establish a cause before reporting?
No. Staff choose the closest report type and write the facts in their own words. The safeguarding team makes the professional decisions.
What should staff check after sending a concern?
Check the confirmation reference and attachments. If the outcome is uncertain, follow the recovery guidance; immediate danger still requires the school’s urgent safeguarding arrangements.
