Questions
SEND school questions.
Does CareKudos follow the Ofsted framework?
No. Our evidence reports were built for the CQC, the regulator for health and social care, and they are not mapped to the Ofsted framework. In a school, they give leaders an organised record of recognition, values and Staff Voice results.
How is pupils' privacy protected?
Every post is checked for personal data, pupils are referred to by initials, and you can hide names before you share a report.
Do staff need a work phone?
No. Staff can use the app on their own phone, on iOS or Android, or in a web browser.
Does CareKudos replace our school's systems?
No. CareKudos works alongside the systems you already use.
