Single Central Record software
Single Central Record software that keeps you inspection-ready
Every adult’s pre-employment checks, with the evidence behind each one, grouped by staff type — and the checks that are expiring, ordered or still to be evidenced flagged long before anyone asks.
What is the Single Central Record?
Keeping Children Safe in Education requires schools to keep a single central record of the pre-employment checks carried out on staff, supply staff, volunteers, governors and others who work in school. It is one of the first documents an inspector asks to see.
How ASEND360 keeps it right
- Grouped by staff type, with each person showing how many required checks are complete.
- Clear status for every check: compliant, ordered, to be evidenced, expiring or expired.
- Evidence stored against each check, with dates.
- Compliance and termly checks views for the DSL, business manager and headteacher.
- Import your existing SCR and export to PDF or spreadsheet whenever you need it.
Part of a wider safeguarding picture
Because the SCR sits in the same platform as safeguarding records, staff appraisal, staff absence and CPD, leaders see compliance alongside the rest of their staffing information, with access controlled by role.
Questions schools ask
Who needs to be on the Single Central Record?
Keeping Children Safe in Education sets out who must be included, typically all staff employed at the school, supply staff, and others such as volunteers and governors in certain circumstances. Always follow the current KCSIE guidance.
Can we import our existing spreadsheet?
Yes. ASEND360 can import an existing SCR so you don’t have to start again.
Does the SCR cost extra?
No. The Single Central Record is part of ASEND360 Plus, which is included for every school.
