Records of Concern List

The Records of Concern list is your central hub for viewing and managing all safeguarding concerns within your setting. This page provides a comprehensive overview of all records with powerful filtering and sorting capabilities.

​

Accessing the Safeguarding Dashboard

1. From the main navigation menu, click Safeguarding

The Settings button at the top opens your setting’s sign-off rules and exclusions.

​

List Overview

The safeguarding list displays all records of concern in a table format, showing key information at a glance: Title - Brief summary of the concern Subject - Identifies who the concern is about (either the Child or staff member’s name) Created Date - When the concern was first recorded Status - Current state of the concern

• Active - Concern is ongoing and requires monitoring
• Awaiting sign-off - A DSL has proposed closing it and it is waiting for more signatures. It is still open.
• Closed - Concern has been resolved and signed off
• No Action - Concern reviewed but no further action needed

Actions Count - Number of actions recorded for this concern

​

Filtering the List

Use the Status filter above the table to show only Active, Awaiting sign-off, Closed or No Action concerns, or the search box to find a concern by title. Filtering on Awaiting sign-off is a quick way to find concerns waiting for your signature. You only see concerns about children and colleagues you haven’t been excluded from. You never see a concern about yourself.

On Your Dashboard

The Safeguarding Overview widget on the dashboard is shown to Safeguarding Leads and deputies. It counts:

• Awaiting Action: concerns with no actions recorded yet
• Active Concerns: open records being monitored
• Not Read by You: open concerns raised in the last 30 days that you haven’t opened yet
• Awaiting Sign-off: closes proposed and waiting for signatures (shown only when there are some)
