Where schools usually struggle, and what changes.
Problem: Absences noticed too late
With School Niva: Unexplained absences trigger same-day follow-up with families.
Problem: Concerns scattered across notebooks
With School Niva: Notes, incidents and plans come together for the people who need them.

Safeguards
Safeguards built into Attendance & student support
Wellbeing, behaviour and safeguarding information is the most protected data in the platform and opens only to designated roles.
It always
- Routes safeguarding concerns only to designated staff
- Shows teachers what they need to help, not the full file
- Involves students and families in their plans
It never
- Labels or predicts a child as a risk
- Shares counselling or health notes outside the care team
Where AI helps
AI can spot attendance patterns and draft follow-up messages. Trained staff decide every action.
