A connected education workforce record

From staff requirement to reviewable school evidence

    Assign safeguarding, induction and other training requirements to the relevant staff groups.

  2. Monitor the date

    Use automatic training reminders and keep renewal dates and outstanding requirements visible to the responsible manager.

  3. Hold the evidence

    Connect certificates or other proof to the requirement and staff record.

  4. Review and report

    Check gaps by school, role or team and export the current position when needed.

Where SkillProof fits.

SkillProof organises staff training and compliance records. It does not determine safeguarding requirements, conduct DBS checks, store safeguarding cases or guarantee inspection outcomes.

Education questions, answered clearly.

Will staff receive automatic training reminders?

Yes. Standard automated training due and overdue reminders are included from Starter. Growth adds configurable and cross-module reminder workflows, manager access and multi-site oversight. Your school or trust sets the training requirements and renewal dates.

Can SkillProof track safeguarding training for every staff member?

Yes. Safeguarding training is set up as a training item with renewal cycles and evidence requirements, so you can see at a glance who is current, who is due a refresher and who is overdue - across one school or a whole trust.

Does it track DBS checks?

SkillProof can record the DBS check details and local review dates your organisation lawfully chooses to hold. DBS certificates have no official expiry date, and SkillProof does not run checks, decide eligibility or replace the school's statutory single central record.

Is SkillProof a training course provider?

No. SkillProof can create and deliver the school's own internal courses, then connect their results to external training, requirements and evidence. It does not supply accredited course content or award qualifications.

Can it work across a multi-academy trust?

Yes. Trusts can use SkillProof to hold every school to one standard, with reporting that rolls up across all sites and filters down to a single school, department or person.

Can it help us prepare for inspection?

SkillProof can export a current view of safeguarding training, selected recruitment-check status, role-based training and CPD. It helps prepare workforce records for review but does not replace safeguarding case management, the statutory single central record or the school's own inspection judgement.

How do staff submit their certificates?

Staff receive a request and upload from a phone or computer - no app to install. An authorised reviewer checks the certificate and keeps it with the training record it supports.
