As the demanding summer term draws to a close, headteachers and school administrators eagerly anticipate a well-deserved break. However, the fleeting nature of the summer holidays means that September and a new academic year will swiftly approach. It’s no secret that many schools and colleges struggle to effectively handle and store the vast amount of data they accumulate. With stringent guidelines on safeguarding and data usage, implementing an efficient document management system can significantly enhance efficiency and document security.

Our comprehensive solutions

We have developed a range of document management services specifically tailored to assist schools, colleges, and universities in managing and securing their data handling and storage practices. In 2016, the Department of Education released the document “Keeping Children Safe in Education: Statutory Guidance for Schools and Colleges,” which emphasised the responsibility educational institutions have in maintaining accurate records. The guidance stated that “all concerns, discussions, and decisions made, along with the reasons for those decisions, should be recorded in writing.” Consequently, an increasing number of schools and colleges have adopted software designed to address safeguarding, child protection, and a broad spectrum of welfare issues from a centralised repository.

Meeting safeguarding guidelines with ease

With over 15 years of experience in scanning and digitising records for various organisations, we understand the paramount importance of security, reliability, and confidentiality. Our well-tested and audited system ensures that your paper records are swiftly and securely digitised, ready to be seamlessly integrated into your safeguarding software.
