“Safeguarding is at the forefront of everything we do. CPOMS allows us to share concerns, build a full picture of a child’s wellbeing, and ensure nothing is missed.”
Rebecca Doughney, Child and Family Safeguarding and Attendance Officer, Ashley Primary School
Like many schools, safeguarding information at Ashley Primary School sat across paper files, emails, and informal conversations, making it hard to maintain a single, chronological view of each child’s wellbeing. Patterns that initially appeared unrelated could be missed, and continuity was vulnerable when staff were absent or roles changed. Transferring records between schools was also time-consuming and manual, creating unnecessary risk and delay.
CPOMS StudentSafe provided Ashley Primary School with one secure place to record, share, and review safeguarding and wellbeing concerns—giving leaders real-time visibility and strengthening accountability across the school.

Today, CPOMS is embedded into daily safeguarding practice at Ashley Primary School. Recording concerns is quicker and more consistent, giving staff more time to focus on supporting pupils rather than managing paperwork. Safeguarding leads can identify trends earlier, track recurring themes with confidence, and share detailed histories securely during school transitions—strengthening continuity of care.
Ashley Primary School, part of Wise Academies, is a community-focused school near South Shields with over 400 primary students.
