The key features

Student profile

Have informed counselling sessions or behaviour management conversations, with

a detailed background and demographic profile on each student. This gives you

the context you need to intervene appropriately and make informed decisions

concerning follow-up action.

Granular reporting

Review intelligent, real-time dashboards that report at a student, school and MAT

level to present insightful analysis of student risk and wellbeing across a whole

school or academy trust. This allows schools to identify trends and flag key risk

factors before they escalate.

Concern chronology

Access a complete safeguarding history for each student, including pastoral, child protection, behavioural, or mental health

issues, as well as first aid incidents and medical needs. View detailed chronologies

and printable reports, tag concerns on multiple students, and share concerns with

school staff as appropriate.

Intervention management

Track and manage the follow-up action in relation to all incidents, detailing any external referrals made. This detailed log helps schools keep track of their

interactions with external agencies, such as social care and CAMHS.

Policy audit

Store and access a range of student safety documents, such as key government

legislation and memos, all located in one place. Add and log your school’s documents

and policies, using the built-in audit tool to track your school’s progress and compliance with inspections or audits.

Alert prioritisation

Easily manage colour-coded alerts, grouped by priority and allocate to staff members,

for efficient follow-up and effective intervention management across the entire

student body.

“Impero EdAware has improved communication as all relevant members of staff now have access to the same information at the same time. We are a special needs school, so there are many pastoral issues that need sharing with staff. Now, rather than one weekly meeting to discuss pastoral concerns, Impero EdAware enables all staff to be notified straight away when a concern or issue arises.”

Lauren Cartwright, The Sutton School and Specialist College, UK

“Impero EdAware really does simplify the recording of our safeguarding concerns. I can highlight the students with the most concerns, via easy-to-use dashboards, and send trend reports to our governors with ease. Overall, Impero EdAware builds a full picture of a student’s wellbeing, ensuring nothing is missed.”

Dan MacPherson, Ark Greenwich Free School, UK

The key benefits

Intervene early

Combining a range of information across the whole scope of a student’s wellbeing (from safeguarding and behaviour to first aid and radicalisation) Impero EdAware

provides a complete visual picture and the insight that staff need to contextualise risk

early, before the situation escalates.

Go paperless

Impero EdAware moves schools off paper-based systems by providing a digital record of all safeguarding incidents and concerns. With ISO 27001 compliance and two factor

authentication, Impero EdAware ensures this data is safe and secure and, unlike

paper-based storage, protected from loss or physical damage/destruction.

Safeguard students

Providing visibility of all factors which influence student safety, including

safeguarding concerns and risk indicators, staff responsibilities, school policies, and health and safety requirements, Impero EdAware enables schools to effectively

track safeguarding concerns.

Save time

With reporting language based on key legislation, staff can quickly record

concerns in a secure, court-safe format. Impero EdAware is a browser-based

solution allowing staff to access essential documents easily and quickly anywhere,

anytime and on any device.

Oversee compliance

Impero EdAware places all essential and required documents in one place alongside

a comprehensive audit tool, designed to enable schools to upload documents and supporting evidence for demonstrating

compliance to relevant inspectorates, such as Ofsted and ISI.

Simplify referrals

Providing school staff with an easy-to-use platform for reporting and recording safeguarding and behavioural concerns, with centralised referral tracking and

automated generation of referral forms for timely student and family support. All

evidence regarding a student’s welfare can be collated and used for referrals to relevant external services where needed.

The Impero EdAware companion mobile app allows staff to securely record concerns,

and receive push notifications for alerts, while on the go. Available on iOS and

Android, search for Impero EdAware in the App Store or Google Play Store.

A holistic approach to safeguarding

How Impero Education Pro’s online safety features work

How Impero Education Pro and Impero EdAware integrate

Revolutionising the way safeguarding and child protection concerns are detected and reported, Impero EdAware and Impero Education Pro can be seamlessly integrated to become the first all-in-one holistic safeguarding tool of its kind. Combining offline and online concerns into a single chronology provides schools with a holistic view of a student’s wellbeing to help keep students safe.

Impero’s online safety features identify key words, phrases, abbreviations or acronyms, which are typed anywhere on the network (including HTML, web browsers, emails, applications etc). This helps to pinpoint vulnerable students potentially engaged in at-risk activity.

Using built-in keyword libraries that have been developed in partnership with a number of charities and specialist organisations, Impero provides alerts relating to a broad range of safeguarding issues.

Alerts captured in Impero Education Pro are pushed into the Impero EdAware system and recorded as a safeguarding concern. Impero Education Pro and Impero EdAware are designed to work seamlessly, so schools can view both offline and online risks in a single view.
