Teachers and other school staff often observe things about students that can point to larger issues in that child’s life. If a student shows up to school unkempt, hungry, or with bruises, it’s clear there’s something wrong, but this type of information isn’t always recorded. These incidents can add up, and knowing what a student is going through is crucial for their safety, wellness, and success. While some schools try their best to capture and make sense of this information, lots of crucial data that can help schools understand student needs and provide them with the help they need is lost.
With Securly Observe, you give teachers and other school staff members an easy-to-use, quick way to record wellness observations for any student. With that information at their fingertips, counsellors and student support staff are empowered to give students the resources they need to heal, cope, and stay safe from harm.

- Give teachers and school staff an easy way to record any wellness observations or concerns.
