Safeguarding
Safeguarding concerns, seen by the right people
Any member of staff can raise a concern in moments. Your DSL and deputies manage it, with every action in a chronology and a record of who has looked.
What you can do
Safeguarding in PupilDB
-
Raise a concern in moments
Pupil, category, what was seen or heard, when, where and what was done at the time.
-
DSL-only by default
Only your DSL and deputies see concerns, not even other administrators unless you add them.
-
Decisions and actions
Status, risk, who it’s assigned to, and every referral, call, meeting and note.
-
A chronology per pupil
All of a pupil’s concerns and actions in date order, printable and marked confidential.
-
Who has looked
Each concern shows who opened it and when. CSV exports are logged too.
-
Alerts without details
DSLs get an email when a concern is raised. No names or details are sent.

Every open concern in one list
Status and risk at a glance, who each concern is assigned to and when it last moved on.

Questions
Safeguarding: common questions
Does PupilDB replace CPOMS?
PupilDB includes safeguarding concern logging, so smaller settings may not need a separate tool. It doesn’t connect to CPOMS or other safeguarding systems.
Can administrators see safeguarding concerns?
Not by default. Only people in your DSL role can see and manage concerns. You can add an administrator to that role if your policy says they should have access.
What can we give governors?
The safeguarding summary gives anonymised figures for governors: concerns by category, month, status and risk, plus referrals and early help. In a small setting small numbers can still identify a pupil, so your DSL checks the figures before sharing them.
Is there a full change history?
Each safeguarding concern logs who has viewed it. A change history across all records is on our roadmap.
