There is now functionality available on the safeguarding training portal for local reporting; this report enables parish safeguarding officers to run reports to check on training completions in their parish.
To set this up, existing individual portal users need to log in to their account and edit their profile; once logged in, they can click on their name at the top right of the screen and select "Edit profile" - at the very bottom of the page is a field labelled '(optional) Allow a user with the following email address to look at my training record (eg. my Parish Safeguarding Officer)'.
If they enter an e-mail address into this field, and if somebody has an account linked to that address, this will allow the specified person to view a record of any training they have completed via the site.
New users can set this up at the point of registering for an account on the portal, and it can be updated at any time by users editing their profile as mentioned above.
The 'Local Report' for the PSO displays the name and e-mail address of anybody who has given them to view their training records, and shows the expiry date of any courses they have successfully completed on the Training Portal:
- If the expiry date has passed, then the date is printed in red.
- If the course has not been completed, then #### is printed light grey.
PSOs can search for a particular name by typing into the search box to the right of the report or download the whole report as a spreadsheet.
Please note that this report only displays training completed via the Training Portal, not via other means.
This is also an ideal opportunity for the parish to introduce a generic email address for the PSO role. This might look something like SafeguardingStJohnsNewtown@gmail.com.
If you have any questions about this functionality, please contact Stephen Ellis– Stephen.ellis@chester.anglican.org in the first instance.
