Everything HR needs, in one system

    Audit-ready every day

    Every HR keeps the Single Central Record up to date automatically. Standard DfE checklists, custom checks, and KCSIE training tracking flag missing or expiring items, so the record is ready whenever an inspector arrives, not scrambled together the week before.

    See the pattern before it becomes a case

    RAG-rated dashboards and automated triggers highlight absence trends early, so leaders can intervene before a pattern becomes a formal case or a rising supply cost. Every school flags the same way, giving trust HR teams one consistent view.
