Now
Staff see who is waiting for an adult, who is already with an adult (a regulation-room kiosk or a staff-recorded check-in), who is in a session, and who is back in class. Class teachers only see their own class. If a waiting child has walked to you, tap They’re with me. If a room row is wrong, tap They still need an adult. Open a row to start support. Staff-recorded rows show Staff recorded. Discreet requests show Asked for an adult. Teacher requests show Teacher asked inclusion. There is no score on this screen.
Strategy and session
The list is ranked: that child’s override first, then what has returned them to class before, then the school default for that feeling, then the rest of the library. If they are still in class, you can tell the teacher you will collect them, ask the teacher to send them, or meet outside, or skip and do nothing. Pick a strategy, start, switch if needed, then record whether they returned to class or stayed with inclusion for the rest of the day. Every step is written to the record. If you opened the session later than it happened, set the real start and end when you close. A session nobody opened in Loop uses They already left on Record a check-in. From a child pack, Open a session to correct times, the strategies used, or whether they went back. Save changes returns you to the pack.
Handover and classroom
If inclusion sent a classroom plan, it pops up for the class teacher while they are signed in. They do not need to refresh. They also see it on Now and Classroom and can reply (collect, send, or meet outside). Ending a session writes a short handover for the class teacher. They read that on Handover or Classroom. Group sittings also appear on Classroom as why a child was out, including children who were only present. That is the close of the in-the-moment loop.
Alerts
Now is the duty board: anyone still waiting or in a session stays there. Room and staff-recorded check-ins show as with an adult and do not start the unattended timer. Completed check-ins leave after an hour. Alerts are the formal record that a named adult must respond. If a waiting check-in is not opened or marked with an adult within the acknowledgement window (set in School setup), a wellbeing alert is raised and email goes to TA, SENCO and SLT. Feelings you marked “always flag” alert immediately. A check-in at the high-arousal end of your scale does the same. Three or more high-arousal check-ins for the same child on the same London day raise a pattern notice. It is a notice, and it is not a score. Unacknowledged alerts escalate on the scheduler. Safeguarding flags are a separate list for the named DSL. Ended sessions that are missing usual close details (times, what they did, whether they went back, how settled) also appear on Alerts until someone adds them or leaves the gap as-is. That list is not a wellbeing alert, and class teachers only see children in their class.
