Safeguard / Safeguarding
Make it straightforward to record a concern and safe to follow it through
Give staff a clear reporting route while authorised safeguarding leads retain the chronology, decisions and control around every case.
Student Radar supports authorised safeguarding practice. It does not replace the DSL, local procedures or professional judgement.
The working surface
What it does
Concern capture takes what a member of staff noticed and records it, with the detail structured so the DSL can act on it.
Limits made explicit
What it deliberately does not do
01
Staff do not need proof to record a concern. Noticing is enough; deciding is the DSL's job.
02
An urgent concern is still reported verbally to the DSL. The record follows the words; it does not replace them.
03
Recording a concern starts a record, not a case. What happens next is a decision, made by a person.
Evidence in context
From noticing to the DSL
The concern form structures what was seen and heard, and the record reaches the people responsible for deciding.
- A structured concern form for staff
- Detail the DSL can act on
- The record held with safeguarding access controls
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.

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.

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.
