Trust in sensitive SEND workflows

Security, privacy and accountability are part of the platform design.

ASEND supports work involving sensitive information about children, young people, families, professionals and organisations. Access, document handling and audit records are designed around each user’s role and organisation.

Role and organisation-based access

A Council user, Agency employee and Educational Psychologist do not receive the same view or actions. Relationships must be approved before related records become available.

Secure identity and sign in

Password-based portals support secure authentication and appropriate account controls. Council onboarding may include corporate SSO.

Controlled documents and reports

Reports and controlled legal documents remain inside the appropriate online workflow. Controlled source files are not offered for download from the library.

Audit and accountability

Important case, assignment, report, release and account events can be recorded for authorised review.

Accessibility

ASEND aims to support different access needs, screen sizes and input methods. The public Accessibility Statement records the current position.

Responsible technology

Technology supports administration and workflow. It does not replace professional judgement, Agency quality responsibility or Local Authority statutory decisions.

Public policy library

Read the current policies online.

The six public policies are available before login. Controlled portal documents remain subject to the relevant access rules, and legal source files are not offered for download.
