Established in 2022, 1st and Bowery is a Shropshire based design and development company whose projects focus on welfare and support.

Working with individuals, educational establishments, venues, councils and businesses.

Designed and developed in Shropshire, but supporting people and organisations across the country.

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.
