Orchid Reports has been designed in collaboration with DSLs and welfare professionals within the education sector.
Orchid Reports offers students a quick and simple method of reporting any issues or incidents of concern to them, via a QR code. Examples include:
• Bullying
• Racism
• Hate Crime
• Loneliness
• Drugs
• Violence
Included in the submission, students can also book a one-to-one appointment with a DSL or a member of the welfare team.
The easy-to-use dashboard and reporting functions means that DSLs and education/welfare teams may quickly and effectively deal with issues as they arise, as well as identify trends within the data and react accordingly.
The system can report on a wide range of parameters, including:
• Year Group/Class/Course
• Gender
• Type of issue
• Date Range
• Resolved/outstanding
In addition to assisting DSLs and education/welfare teams, the reporting will help SMTs, governors and if applicable, external parties, to review student welfare provision.
