No spreadsheets to build yourself. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you register.
Register as a business, a single academy, or a Multi-Academy Trust. It's free to get started, no credit card required. Tell us your organisation's name and type, and you're straight in.
Search the official DfE register by name, URN or postcode to pull an academy's details in automatically, or add a business location manually if it isn't in the DfE register. Add as many sites as your organisation has.
The online SCR is switched on for every school at no cost. Add your staff, volunteers and contractors and record each vetting check, with right-to-work expiry reminders and an inspection-ready export built in. From there you can switch on the Compliance Checklist and GDPR & Data Security whenever you want them; Responsible Persons is on the way.
Keep the SCR current as people join and leave. If you've added the Compliance Checklist, pick a framework target for each site and work through it control by control, marking items in progress, complete or blocked, adding notes and attaching evidence. Your site and organisation-wide dashboards update as you go, so you always know exactly where you stand.
You don't set any of this up. It's part of the free Single Central Record.
Right-to-work expiry reminders go out ahead of time, so nobody is caught out at inspection.
A time-boxed, read-only link Ofsted can open themselves, showing the record and nothing else.
One click gives you a password-protected, encrypted export of the register.
Every change is logged field by field: who changed what, and when.
Role-based permissions, MFA you can enforce trust-wide, and Google or Microsoft sign-in.
Attach evidence to any item, and see which documents each framework expects.
Create your account and add your first site. It takes a couple of minutes.
