The power of data lies not just in what you collect, but in how seamlessly and accurately you can use it so we're developing a powerful API to support data interoperability across #education and social care systems, giving #VirtualSchools access to a single, accurate ‘golden record’ bit.ly/459X6km

We’re celebrating 5 years of partnership with Wonde, helping Virtual Schools access accurate, real-time attendance data. A vital tool in safeguarding vulnerable children and driving informed decisions. #VirtualSchools #AttendanceMonitoring #Edtech bit.ly/3GSk2e1

How do we spot early warning signs to safeguard Looked After Children? Too often, key data is missed. Our dashboards help Virtual Schools & LAs track trends, identify risks & target support effectively - because better insights mean better outcomes bit.ly/31LBV9A

Real impact comes from having the right data at the right time. Oldham Virtual School’s experience highlights how proactive monitoring can transform support for CLA - ensuring no child is left behind.
