Safeguarding

Safeguarding compliance software for international schools

TeachingTide gives designated safeguarding leads and HR directors the tools to maintain a compliant, inspection-ready record of all staff checks, mandatory training, and policy acknowledgements — without spreadsheets or manual chasing.

Complete safeguarding management

Single Central Register
Maintain a complete record of pre-employment checks, DBS/police clearances, and identity verification for every staff member — always inspection-ready.
Mandatory Reading Tracking
Publish safeguarding policies and track which staff have read and acknowledged them. Automated reminders reduce the admin burden on the DSL.
Expiry Notifications
TeachingTide alerts the safeguarding lead and HR when certifications, DBS checks, or medical clearances are approaching their expiry date.
Audit Trail Logging
Every action in the safeguarding module is logged with a user, timestamp, and IP. Provides an immutable trail for external audits and accreditation visits.
Role-Based Access
Sensitive safeguarding records are visible only to the DSL, HR director, and Head of School. Role boundaries are enforced at the system level.
Inspection-Ready Export
Generate structured safeguarding reports formatted for ISI, BSO, CIS, or NEASC inspection teams. Export with a single click, on demand.

Child protection records that hold up to external scrutiny

International schools face a uniquely complex safeguarding environment: staff arrive from multiple countries with different vetting systems, and schools must satisfy the requirements of multiple bodies — their home country regulator, their accreditation body (CIS, NEASC, COBIS, IBO), and local authorities. TeachingTide's safeguarding module is designed for this reality. It tracks checks from multiple national systems, accommodates different clearance types, and produces structured reports that visiting inspection teams can verify independently — whether in Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, or Bogotá.
