“Safeguarding is absolutely a key priority, and Ciphr’s onboarding facility allows us to complete some of that safeguarding journey before they join so they are well informed in time for their first day.”

Have safeguarding covered

Keep accurate safeguarding records and trigger automated alerts to ensure these are kept up to date, enabling HR to comply with regulatory requirements and maintain a single central record (SCR). Record checks that you carry out against each staff member, such as right to work checks, or go further and use Ciphr’s employee background checking software to run extensive pre-employment checks – provided by our trusted partner, Experian – including enhanced DBS checks and occupational history checks.

Empower your teachers

Ciphr HR gives your people the ability to manage their own profiles and update their personal information. Staff can upload relevant documents to their profile, and HR teams can use Ciphr HR not only to share personal communications such as contract change letters, but also distribute school-wide policies, and track which individuals have read and accepted them. .

Ciphr HR comes with powerful absence management functionality. Staff can book holidays and enter sick leave (or other types of absence), from anywhere, and see who else is off in the team – ideal for teachers working different work patterns, as they can enter the times and dates they were absent. In turn, HR can verify and report on all absence requests.
