to such a level that necessitated council involvement. Schools and other educational settings were identified as a logical area to target, stemming from the recognition that young people spend a large proportion of their time in educational settings. The ambition, then, was to support decision-making for schools around safeguarding and support. The Bristol Insight team, who developed the TFD and TFE found that, as with other teams, accessing timely and complete information was an issue for schools. Doing so could involve contacting different teams across the council, which was often a lengthy process. The TFE aimed at quickly providing schools with key pieces of high-level information, such as lead case worker name and contact details, along with a list of children in need at their school, which can inform initial conversations and planning about children and young people (CYP). In addition, the Bristol Insights team noted that the transition of students between schools, and the exchange of information required, could also be problematic. Since there are information sharing requirements before a child or young person moves from one school to another, the existing manual process meant there were often information gaps at this transition. Furthermore, information could be incomplete. The TFE tries to address these issues. It can show data from a broad range of pupils, and, drawing on information from the admissions process, can also show when placements have been accepted. Development and maintenance Insight Bristol led the development of the TFE, involving various stakeholder teams, including schools, police and other internal council partners.
