We monitor more than 29,000 Out of Home Care/Looked After Children, in over 8,300 schools every day. Attendance Monitoring was first launched in 2002 and has been successfully monitoring Out of Home Care/Looked After Children attendance for more than 16 years.
The importance of safeguarding Out of Home Care/Looked After Children and vulnerable children is essential for every school. Attendance Monitoring data is a vital tool enabling Authorities to take control and react where problems arise and strive for improvements in their absenteeism and exclusion figures. In some cases where Authorities are using our Attendance Monitoring, absenteeism has dropped by more than 22% and exclusions have dropped by more than 50%.
More than 70% (108) of Local Authorities are able to ensure that their most at risk children are monitored for their school attendance daily and are able to use their limited resources efficiently and where needed to react, respond and safeguard quickly where necessary.
Daily and real time analysis of this data via our Extranet, provides valuable insights allowing Local Authorities to cross examine attendance, drill down for detailed analysis and allows them to empower improvements.
