Success Stories from Our Community

Testimonials

Real experiences from the professionals and organisations using Welfare Call to support vulnerable children and improve outcomes.

Graeme Ferguson Virtual School Head, Derby City Council

We have seen our timely completion rates improve from 85% to 95%, the quality of what’s written improve, greater consistency, improved communication with DTs and SWs, and better accountability for responsibilities.

Wendy Holmes Virtual School Head, North Lincolnshire Council

Welfare Call has given me a first class service and response at all times. No change is too much trouble for them. They are a very knowledgeable company, who know what they are talking about and are willing to go the extra mile.

Calvin Kipling Virtual School Head, Darlington Council

I like the dashboards. They are very clear. I also like the jump-to’s and the ability to drill down to individual young people.

Tom Oates Virtual School Head, Barnsley Council

Welfare Call’s platform allows us to monitor and support every cohort from Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to Post-16, providing us with a holistic view across the school. This comprehensive data overview helps us track trends, identify critical areas of focus, and implement broader support packages as needed. This whole-school perspective is particularly valuable during key transition periods, allowing us to proactively address students’ needs with data-led interventions. Additionally, utilising the Welfare Call PEP system has enabled greater focus on PEP spending which in turn has enabled the PEP system to be partly funded through cost savings.
