Children's education and social careNo one doubts the value of putting the ECM agenda at the heart of every local authority

In order not to miss a single child, you need to be able to see the complete picture for every single one, every single day. So it comes down to everyone in a local authority seeing with one set of eyes, listening with one set of ears and speaking with one voice. This needs an integrated management information system that provides a single record for every child across both education and children's social care.

One provides a single solution meeting the changed needs of Children’s Services; the ability to securely and reliably record, process, analyse and share data across education and children's social care, reducing time-consuming administration, breaking down barriers to communication and playing a major part in improving outcomes for children.

One provides a single, integrated information management system for every child. The same core record can be used and accessed by all practitioners across education and children’s social care. The ability to see the complete picture on all of the children, all of the time, makes it possible to make the right decisions, target resources when and where they’re needed.

One is an integrated information and case management system that has been built around the needs of education and social care practitioners, using our knowledge and understanding of children’s services, combined with a wealth of technical expertise.

Simple, automated information sharing
One provides a common framework for recording and managing data. Information on a child’s school attendance, achievement and behaviour can be viewed alongside social care records, allowing quick identification of vulnerable children, prioritising needs effectively and providing the appropriate support swiftly.

By bringing together education and children’s social care records into a single system, One helps break down former cultural and structural barriers that may have previously inhibited information sharing. Such integrated working not only has a major impact on reducing administration and other clerical tasks, but also frees staff to focus on more frontline issues and thus improve services for children.

Replace inefficient processes and systems
In providing an integrated management information system with a single record for every child, One eliminates the need for time-consuming duplication of records. Reducing data entry to a minimum means staff can focus on service delivery not administration.

Further administrative burdens are removed from staff through better information sharing and customising the technology so One fits the service, rather than the other way round. Information, which has been entered just once, can be drawn directly and automatically from a variety of sources allowing practitioners to make decisions and targeting resources based on the most up-to-date information.

Accurate collective profiles of all children can be obtained, allowing authorities to identify trends and support earlier intervention.
