Student Chronologies

Every data point. One unified student narrative.

Interactive student chronologies bring together every event, concern, intervention and outcome into a single timeline view. From a CP referral to an attendance pattern to an assessment dip — everything is visible in context, in sequence, with no information siloed in separate systems.

  • Unified timeline across all data sources and domains
  • Filterable by concern type, date range and data source
  • Shareable with relevant staff and external agencies
  • Audit trail for every action and decision
  • Supports multi-agency safeguarding reviews

Automated Workflows

Trigger the right action at the right time — automatically.

Define intervention workflows once and let Attention First execute them. When a student's attendance drops below threshold, when a behaviour pattern emerges, when a CP review deadline approaches — the platform triggers notifications, creates tasks and escalates to the right people without any manual monitoring.

  • Configurable trigger conditions across all data domains
  • Automated notifications to relevant staff roles
  • Task creation and assignment with deadlines
  • Escalation chains if actions are not completed
  • Full audit log of every workflow execution
