If your organisation has a statutory or moral duty of care — a school, nursery, care home, sports club, youth charity, after-school provider, faith group — you can log safeguarding concerns, track external referrals to CSC / MASH / LADO and produce a tamper-evidenced audit pack on the same platform that runs your accident book. No per-user fee, no usage cap, no card required.
Loose-leaf notebooks lock concerns in one room, behind one person. They cannot be searched, cannot show a pattern, cannot survive a flood, and cannot prove on inspection day that you logged the concern the same hour you spotted it.
Purpose-built software fixes all of that, and it should not be reserved for the biggest schools. The eighty-pupil rural primary, the pre-school playgroup and the karate club that runs Saturdays in a community hall carry the same duty of care.
The essentials are included in your free Semseo Training account; there is no charge per user.
The KCSIE framing is school-shaped but the underlying engine works for any setting where adults look after children or vulnerable adults.
KCSIE concern categories, pupil register, DSL/DDSL roles, pupil chronology PDF for school-to-school transfer, referrals to Children’s Social Care + LADO + Police + Channel.
EYFS welfare requirements, body-map for unexplained marks, parent/carer priority-contact, Ofsted-ready audit pack with tamper-evidence hash.
NGB-aligned safeguarding records, concerns about coaches (LADO route), parent / carer contact register, multi-venue support for clubs running across sites.
Vulnerable-adult concerns recorded alongside accidents and medication errors, visible only to the people you name.
Concerns about volunteers and activities kept private to your named leads, with an audit pack when a trustee or insurer asks what happened.
Domestic-abuse disclosures from staff, mental-health concerns, modern-slavery indicators in supply chains. The same private-by-default record structure applies.
A working DSL has access to these the same hour they sign up.
Schools and trusts can keep their Single Central Record in the same free account they use for accident reporting and safeguarding. Next to the vetting checks it sets out what training each member of staff needs for their role, so a lapsed or missing certificate shows up as a gap long before an inspection does.
When a gap appears, book the course with us and record the new certificate against that person. The register itself is free and opt-in. Everything about the checks, the privacy approach and trust-wide records is on the Semseo Training site.
