CPOMS
CPOMS is an online system where all staff in a school can log concerns relating to safeguarding, child protection, and virtually anything pastoral that can impact the wellbeing of a child. Designated safeguarding leads in school can then gather important information quickly and easily to protect pupils with simple and thorough tools.
Before our system was developed, schools had to do all this manually using paper. That meant evidence was often incomplete or stored in various places which caused inconsistencies with pupil’s safeguarding information.
CPOMS brings together all the tools needed for Safeguarding to one place. An appropriate member of staff can see a pupil’s full Safeguarding chronology, alongside anything a school wishes to log that it feels is appropriate. This flexibility means schools can choose to monitor SEN, Behaviour, Medical Issues, or even reward systems alongside Safeguarding.
CPOMS is a forward-thinking platform providing security and reassurance to all users that each incident is evidenced, time framed and ordered so any requirement to produce a chronology is quick and reliable. This is the peace of mind for all users when a case has been escalated to an external agency.”

Teen Tips – The Wellbeing Hub
