Secure messaging for Looked After Call

Looked After Call is designed to support virtual schools and stakeholders in the care and protection of looked after children. With the help of our customers, we’re keen to adapt and develop the platform to continue meeting your needs. Staying up to date with the latest challenges facing virtual schools ensures we are well placed to do just that. 

Limited resource, ever-changing policies and an all-important focus on security remains at the heart of our developments. With this in mind, we’re excited to share the latest updates to the Looked After Call platform with you! 

With virtual schools and stakeholders sending and receiving hundreds of emails every week, our new secure messaging functionality promises to improve security and streamline communications by taking messaging onto the secure Looked After Call platform. 

Secure 

With messages managed within Looked After Call, stakeholders can work with confidence knowing messages and data is protected, encrypted and visible only to the appropriate individuals. For reporting, PEPs and reviewing communications, this new functionality is very helpful, providing a complete audit trail of conversations and data shared. 

Personalised  

For customers dealing with the daily frustrations of notification-overload, we have good news! The new functionality means all LAC alerts can be received through secure messaging, allowing users to tailor notifications to personal preference.  

By exchanging and storing information and messaging within the secure perimeter of the LAC system, messages can also include more information, including the pupil’s name. 

Efficient 

For busy virtual heads, processes can be streamlined with a single platform for reporting and communications. The new messaging functionality also promises to free up inbox space, storing and organising looked after child data and messaging in a separate, secure platform.
