Hear how the King's Group British international schools have benefitted from using Tes MyConcern.
The challenge
King’s Group (now part of Inspired Education Group) operates in 111 schools across 24 countries worldwide. Together, these schools deliver the English national curriculum to over 80,000 children and young people from kindergarten to 18 years. Each school within the group attracts a broad selection of nationalities, catering for both British families overseas and local families.
The paper-based safeguarding methods that were in place before MyConcern made it difficult for staff to track pupil information and lacked the ability to provide a high-level overview. The manual processes associated with paper systems also meant that timelines were difficult to maintain.

The solution
King’s Group were looking for a system that would offer consistent reporting, as well as greater control of data and information management. They wanted to be able to create reports and share data easily at group level to identify needs within their schools and inform decisions. After hearing about Tes MyConcern they decided that this would be the best fit for them.
Implementing MyConcern
Staff at King’s Group find MyConcern manageable and simple to use. The system holds confidential information securely, but also allows this to be shared appropriately with members of staff or trusted external agencies. As well as having MyConcern in use at every school, King’s Group use Tes Clarity at group level. Clarity allows the group to quickly and easily review safeguarding trends across all of their schools in one place.
