On the Button - Well-being & Safeguarding Software

04/10/2026

When a concern is followed up weeks or months later, memory is not enough.

Leaders may be asked what was known at the time, what was decided, who acted, and what changed. Reconstructing that from recollection and scattered emails is hard, and rarely reads as a clear account.

A time-stamped record of the concern, response, actions and outcome lets you give a factual account calmly, because it is simply there.

On the Button retains that record and its exports support a clear account for Ofsted, the local authority, LADO or Children's Social Care. Hear how settings rely on it: bit.ly/4rK744W

A figure from the latest data that is easy to misread, so let us be careful.

From 1 September 2025 to 31 March 2026, Ofsted carried out 7,270 regulatory events, a 42 per cent rise on the year before.

That covers both frameworks, not every event relates to safeguarding, and not every event finds a failing. So this is not a story about more settings doing something wrong.

It is about follow-up. When a concern is followed up, leaders may need to explain what was known, decided, who acted and what changed, sometimes long after.

On the Button keeps a time-stamped chronology and exports that support a clear account. See how: bit.ly/41CtgSp

There is a version of inspection readiness that is really just a last-minute scramble to pull records together when the call comes.

And a better version, where the everyday system is simply current, so there is nothing to reconstruct.

With around 15 per cent of recent inspections unannounced, the second version is the only reliable one.

This is not about performing for Ofsted. It is about your records being a true, current picture on any given day.

On the Button keeps that picture live and in one place. Hear how settings keep it current: bit.ly/4rK744W
