New module launched to ease church safeguarding admin

A brand-new module to help churches with their safeguarding administration will be launched at CRE 24 by iKnow Church.

More than 10 months in the making, the tools include:

  • Manage concerns – Users can record information and manage different stages of concern as well as uploading supporting documents and controlling access to the information. An unlimited number of notes and attachments can be added to each concern.
  • DBS – All information is managed in one place – with alerts when a DBS refresh is due. Supporting documents can be uploaded along with custom information.
  • Risk Assessments – These can be created and future dates set if re-assessment is required.
  • Custom Fields – Custom information can be added to both concerns and DBS.

Safeguarding information is kept separate from other church data ensuring that only the right people have access. Restricted access can also be given to key areas of the Safeguarding module.

‘The team have worked hard to develop this important module,’ said iKNow Church’s Kyle Cottington. ‘We have already had great feedback when showing the software to organisations and look forward to launching it at CRE 24.’

A spokesperson for Thirtyone:eight, also exhibiting at the CRE, said: ‘The effective management of data is an essential part of creating safer places. A good platform for doing this is therefore critical to ensure data informs safe practice. We encourage any setting to consider the value such a system can bring to their safeguarding arrangements.’

iKnow Church will also launch their new software design after the company’s biggest rebrand in more than 10 years.
