MAT-Ready Multi-Site

Multi-academy trusts can monitor all schools from a single dashboard. Central oversight with school-level granularity for every site in your trust.

Data Protection Built In

All staff data is AES-256 encrypted at rest, stored on UK servers, and fully GDPR compliant. DPIAs and data processing agreements available on request.

The problem with manual DBS rechecks

Most schools recheck staff DBS certificates every three years. In between those checks, a member of staff could be convicted of a serious offence and the school would have no way of knowing. There is no legal obligation for an employee to disclose a new conviction to their employer. The DBS Update Service exists to solve this — but only if someone actually checks it.
