The perfect Single Central Record solution

It's vital that your school complies with the Department for Education Statutory guidance in line with the “Keeping Children Safe in Education” legislation.

This can be an onerous task that takes many hours of admin work. For this reason, we have designed and developed OnlineSCR, the UK’s first online single central record system.

Single Central Record

The complete, automated solution

Eliminate human error and remove the need to copy and paste information between systems.
Compared to a standard spreadsheet, OnlineSCR is a faster, more accurate system. It features an email reminder system that alerts you when you need to complete any mandatory checks.

We have designed our Single Central Record system alongside headteacher, schools and educational consultants. This makes it easy for any educational establishment in the UK to use our Single Central Record solution to cover all members of staff and volunteers.
Despite the advanced functionality that our solution has to offer, it is very simple to use and easy to access from any location. New features and security updates are regularly added by our development team. This leaves your administration team free to focus on their core responsibilities.

We're proud to have received glowing testimonials from Multi Academy Trusts and schools across the UK. We've built an enviable reputation for reliability and our support is second-to-none. We're also the most affordable solution on the market. This means that we can help your educational establishment to meet its legal obligations without placing an unnecessary strain on your budget.
