Safeguarding Hub
Safeguarding software
for nurseries and early years settings
The Safeguarding Hub keeps who your Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are, what to do about a concern and every case record in one place. Staff log a concern in a few steps from any screen, and once an entry is in, nobody can change or delete it.
What happens to a concern.
A concern goes from the room to the DSL's case record without changing hands on paper.
A practitioner notices something
She logs it in a few steps, from whichever screen she's on.
The DSL sees it
It arrives in the DSL's private case dashboard to triage.
Actions are recorded
Who was told, what was decided and what happens next, kept with the case.
The chronology builds
Every entry is time-stamped, and once it's in, nobody can edit or delete it.
Safeguarding software that makes raising a concern simple
A practitioner notices something that doesn’t feel right. In Otii, they can raise a safeguarding concern in a few minutes, from wherever they are in the setting. It goes straight to your Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), so nothing waits in a notebook or gets lost on a sticky note.
See every safeguarding concern in one place
Every concern your team raises sits together in one list, so your DSL can see what’s open, what’s been actioned and what needs a second look. No hunting through folders or emails. Each concern stays linked to the child’s record, so the chronology builds as you go and you can find it quickly when someone asks.
Around the case record
Ofsted judges safeguarding as met or not met, and so does Otii. You'll also see Partial concern in the product: Otii's own status for a live safeguarding matter the setting is owning and working through, not an Ofsted judgement.
Who to call, and what to do
Your DSLs, emergency contacts and clear guidance on a concern about a child or an adult.
A pattern report
Related concerns brought together, so nothing is missed.
Whistleblowing
Staff can raise a concern safely, and leaders have a private inbox for it.
Protective practice
Staff read and acknowledge the setting's safer working expectations, with policies and training alongside.
Also in the Safeguarding Hub
Nothing left sitting
Every concern has to be triaged and resolved, with an owner and a date on each follow-up.
Protected routes for staff
Staff can go straight to the nominated individual, past their manager, or report anonymously.
Patterns surface on their own
Accident and injury records are mapped, so repeat patterns raise an Otii Flag for you to look at.
DSL records in one place
Referrals, LADO contacts, training and actions together, with the right access for each role.
