Behaviour & Safeguarding
BehaviourWatch
SchoolPod
Sharing important behaviour and safeguarding information just got quicker
Behaviour and safeguarding information can now be shared quickly and consistently, removing manual steps and duplicate effort. This is especially valuable for schools using CPOMS as their safeguarding platform, as it removes the need to re key records and saves time.
What’s new?
A new Share button has been added to Slip records in
SchoolPod
and BehaviourWatch
, allowing staff to:- Share slips with student contacts, including parents and extended contacts, via email
- Share slips with other staff members via email
- Share slips directly into a linked CPOMS account
Key benefits:
- Less admin effort: Removes the need to re key or print and email slips manually.
- Stronger safeguarding oversight: Behaviour and safeguarding context can be consolidated in CPOMS.
- Full incident context shared: Slip commentary and audit history are included, preserving the full record.
- Faster communication: Enables quicker, more informed sharing with parents, staff and safeguarding teams.
How it works
Sharing with staff and student contacts
Staff can open any saved Slip in SchoolPod or BehaviourWatch, select Share, and choose to send the record to:
- Student contacts, including parents and extended contacts, shown with relationship and priority to support informed sharing
- Staff members, with role information included to provide context
An email is sent with the slip details attached, replacing the need to print to PDF and email manually. No additional setup is required to share with staff or student contacts.
Sharing with CPOMS
Schools that use CPOMS will need to complete a one time setup by connecting their CPOMS account in the Admin communication settings.
Once connected, staff can share a slip to CPOMS using the same Share button. This creates a new entry in CPOMS containing the full slip commentary.

Eduspot App
, making it easier to stay organised and keep on top of school activities.What’s new?

Key benefits
