Transforming Trust-Level Oversight with CPOMS Insight

The Power of Data for Decision-Making in MATs
“Insight helps us make sure no child is missed. It gives us clarity, confidence, and the ability to act, not just react.”

Dan Hancock, Safeguarding Lead for Together Learning Trust

The Challenge

Fragmented Safeguarding Data

Across Calderdale and Kirklees, Together Learning Trust serves five primary schools, three secondary schools, two school sixth forms, and one special school. Because the Trust serves a broad mix of communities and age ranges, centralizing their safeguarding data and processes is a top priority to provide the best possible outcomes for every child in their care.

Before CPOMS Insight, safeguarding data in the trust was fragmented. Each school ran their own reports individually, which created extra work for staff and increased the risk of errors or missed trends. Some schools used different terms for the same types of incidents, making cross-trust comparisons and strategic oversight difficult.

How CPOMS Insight Helped

Live, Accurate Data

CPOMS Insight offers visibility across all of the schools in the trust with accurate, real-time data. This allows trust leaders to identify trends without running individual reports, supporting proactive decision-making and early intervention.

Consistent and Customizable Reporting

With CPOMS, Together Learning Trust can standardize incident categories across all schools to support accurate reporting. Custom dashboards allow the trust to further prioritize key safeguarding themes requiring special attention, like child-on-child incidents.

Results

Since implementing CPOMS Insight, Together Learning Trust has seen significant benefits in their safeguarding practices and oversight.

  • Real-time dashboards now show logs, patterns, and spikes across all schools, triggering timely conversations and interventions.
  • Standardized reporting categories means data is comparable and accurate, saving staff time on manual reporting from each school and reducing human error.
  • Safeguarding leadership teams can now immediately see where additional support, supervision, or training is needed and allocate resources accordingly.
