Schools often record behaviour and safeguarding information in separate systems, making it harder to understand how concerns connect over time. CPOMS, the leading provider of safeguarding, wellbeing, and pastoral software for UK schools, has partnered with Behaviour Smart — an AI-powered behaviour incident recording system — to bring behaviour incident data into CPOMS StudentSafe™. By connecting these records, schools can build a clearer, more joined-up understanding of each pupil’s needs.
Bringing Behaviour Records into StudentSafe™
Within CPOMS StudentSafe™, behaviour incidents shared from Behaviour Smart appear directly within a pupil’s safeguarding chronology, alongside other safeguarding and pastoral records.
These entries include key details such as pupil identifier, incident date and time, incident type, the recording staff member, and optional notes. Once recorded, staff can manage the entry as they would any other chronology record — adding category markers, linking students, escalating concerns, or tracking follow-up actions.
Incidents are shared from Behaviour Smart once completed, helping bring relevant behaviour information into the safeguarding record, helping reduce the need for duplicate record-keeping across both systems.
“Understanding behaviour alongside safeguarding information helps schools build a clearer picture of pupil need,” said Rick Gardner, Managing Director at CPOMS. “By connecting Behaviour Smart with StudentSafe, staff can access that context in one place.”
Connecting Behaviour and Safeguarding for Better Visibility
Linking behaviour incidents with safeguarding records helps schools move beyond isolated events to better understand how concerns develop over time. When behaviour activity sits alongside safeguarding records, patterns — such as repeated incidents or changes in behaviour — are easier to identify, giving staff clearer context when reviewing a pupil’s history.
“At Behaviour Smart, we believe incident recording should be more than just a paper trail; it should be helpful, meaningful, and drive real change for pupils,” said Dean Cotton, Managing Director at Behaviour Smart. “Integrating with CPOMS StudentSafe means behaviour data sits alongside safeguarding records, giving schools the full picture they need to make a genuine difference.”
