Deep dive

Decisions, handoffs, and boundaries

Use these details to turn a product page into an implementation conversation.

Day and boarding together

The value is one child record with residential context, not a second isolated database.

Safety boundary

Health, safeguarding, visitor, and emergency procedures require explicit school policy and should not be inferred from a generic portal.

Evidence layer

Read the supporting product and implementation material before making a capability claim.

Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Can day and boarding siblings share a parent login?+

The parent model supports linked children, while boarding-specific views remain scoped to the boarder.

Does the boarding module replace safeguarding procedures?+

No. It can organise operational records but does not replace safeguarding governance or emergency policy.
