Strengthening our Safeguarding Procedures

Posted: 20-02-2025

RISE Alternative Provision is excited to announce the implementation of My Concern, a cutting-edge safeguarding software system, to record and manage all safeguarding and behavioural incidents across our provision. This significant step highlights our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of every child in our care.

The decision to introduce My Concern reinforces our ongoing dedication to providing a secure environment where all students feel safe and supported. This innovative platform allows staff members to securely log incidents in real-time, ensuring that each case is recorded accurately and acted upon promptly. By capturing both safeguarding and behavioural incidents on a centralised platform, we aim to respond more effectively to the needs of our students while maintaining a comprehensive record for monitoring and accountability.

Key Benefits of My Concern:

  1. Enhanced Safeguarding: My Concern enables RISE staff to quickly and securely report any safeguarding concerns. This proactive approach allows for immediate intervention and ensures that children’s welfare remains a priority.

  2. Streamlined Communication: The platform promotes seamless communication between all stakeholders, including school leadership, safeguarding teams, and external agencies. By centralising incident reports and updates, My Concern makes it easier for everyone involved to stay informed and collaborate on the best course of action.

  3. Cross-Platform Sharing: With My Concern, information can be shared across multiple platforms, providing a unified approach to safeguarding. This system helps create a more integrated network of care and support, enabling us to work effectively with parents, social workers, and other agencies, ensuring that all relevant parties are kept up to date with key information.

  4. Data Security: My Concern adheres to the highest data protection standards, ensuring that sensitive information is stored securely, with access restricted to authorised personnel only.

By integrating My Concern into our provision, RISE Alternative Provision takes a major step forward in enhancing the safeguarding and behaviour management processes for our students. This system not only aligns with our mission to provide a safe and nurturing environment but also ensures that we are fully equipped to respond to the evolving needs of the children in our care.

Our staff are fully trained in the use of My Concern, and we are confident that its implementation will further our goal of creating a secure and supportive learning environment for every student. The system also provides the peace of mind that parents, carers, and external stakeholders are actively involved in safeguarding efforts, with real-time access to relevant updates and information.

At RISE Alternative Provision, the safety and well-being of our students will always remain at the heart of everything we do. The adoption of My Concern underscores our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and supporting the children in our care, now and into the future.

"O didn't have any support other than myself to help her and was struggling to cope with life, having the opportunity to have Leila in her life has opened her mind to so much. We were extremely struggling to cope so having Leila's support has helped tremendously.

It has given me hope that not every door is shut to her and there are people out there that want to help, and she can get support that she needs. O was extremely negative about anyone being able to support her as no one had in the past so this opportunity has definitely helped her to have more faith in people and to trust the process."

"The Mentor’s relationship with J and me has helped hugely. Having another adult to help has made me feel less alone in my care for J. Bridget's wealth of knowledge has been vital to us accessing services, benefits and professionals within BCP.

Also, the resources provided have been superb. I am really grateful for the care, support and kindness Bridget has provided us. Without her, we would be in a really bad place."
