Safeguarding

Safeguarding sits within your framework, not around it.

Outleap is designed to operate inside your school's existing safeguarding framework. Managed review controls what students see, role boundaries prevent inappropriate access, progression risk flags surface for staff review, and every action is logged for auditability.

Controls

The controls schools need before rollout.

Safeguarding is part of setup and governance, not a feature switched on without school review.

Staff-controlled publication

New schools start with managed review before student-facing AI feedback is released. References and wider workflows stay role-scoped, not open-ended student AI.

Role-scoped access

Students, tutors, coordinators, and platform admins each have distinct access boundaries. Students see only their own work and feedback released to them.

Progression risk flags

Outleap surfaces progression risk flags — for example no evidence entries, an undecided pathway, or a reference not finalised — for staff review. It does not perform content-based safeguarding detection on student writing.

School-owned escalation

Any safeguarding concern follows the school's own DSL route. Outleap makes no safeguarding decisions; escalation stays within the school's governance structure and policy.

Accountability

Signals can support review. They do not replace professional judgement.

Outleap keeps student-facing AI assistance inside a visible staff workflow so schools can define how concerns are reviewed and escalated.

What would be unsafe
  • Private student AI interactions with no staff visibility.
  • Assumed DSL routing before a school confirms contacts and process.
  • AI-generated safeguarding decisions or sensitive reference claims.
Outleap posture
  • Student content and feedback stay visible to authorised staff.
  • DSL routing is configured only after setup confirms the pathway.
  • Audit logs record submissions, review actions, generated output, and publication decisions.
Safeguarding review

Walk through controls with your DSL or governance team.

Review managed feedback, role-scoped access, concern routing, audit records, and the trust-pack documents together.
