What it does
Some records only the right person should ever open.
Sealed to the DSL’s role key
IT and platform staff see ciphertext
Sealed disclosures
A disclosure is sealed on the device that writes it.
Every open writes a read row
who looked, when, in what context
Readership audit
Opening a case writes a record of who looked.
Opened → HOD → deputy → head
the pastoral ladder, kept separate
Separation of concerns
Pastoral escalation runs on its own ladder, away from the sealed channel.
Case #SG-204 · reporter: anonymous
a reference code is the only handle
Anonymity preserved
A child can disclose and still check back, without giving a name.
How it works
From start to settled, in three beats.
- 1
Disclose
A concern is raised. Severity and category are chosen before any sensitive detail is entered.
- 2
Seal
The disclosure is encrypted to the safeguarding lead’s key. Not even IT can read it.
- 3
Account
Every time the case is opened, a read record is written to a tamper-evident trail.
Why it’s different
Only the right person’s key opens it.
Child-protection records demand more than a permissions flag. Disclosures are sealed to the safeguarding lead’s role key, and every read is logged to a tamper-evident trail.
Sealed disclosure
encrypted at rest
DSL’s key
the only key that opens it
Not even IT or platform staff hold the key. Every open is written to a read trail.
Confidentiality that meets the bar for child-protection records.
Built in from the start. No competitor can bolt this on later.
A signed record of every access to a sealed case. The proof of care, handled with gravity.
