How Phew’s Audit System enhances data accuracy in children’s services
Accurate data is the cornerstone of effective safeguarding and quality assurance in children’s services. With limited time and resources, maintaining thorough and precise safeguarding audits can be challenging. Phew’s Audit System offers a solution, revolutionising data accuracy in safeguarding.
Traditional audit processes often drain time and resources. Phew transforms this experience by providing a user-friendly online platform that streamlines audit design, build, and completion. The system allows for customisable templates that reflect an organisation’s unique culture, increasing respondent engagement and data quality.
Key features of Phew’s Audit System include:
- Flexible question formats, from simple text boxes to complex Excel-style data entry
- Logic-based questions that adapt based on previous responses
- Centralised data management for easy access and reduced discrepancies
- Real-time and historical reporting for instant insights and trend identification
- Action plan development and monitoring for effective follow-up
The system’s user-friendly interface includes features like stop-and-save functionality and reminders, ensuring respondents can complete surveys at their own pace without losing progress. This approach has led to significant improvements in completion rates – up to 120% in some cases.
“It was evident from the moment we engaged with Phew that, as a sector specialist, they understood the day-to-day challenges we face as a Partnership. With their approach of working with the sector to design systems, we quickly saw the potential of the Audit System for both our stakeholders and internal team.
“Our close working relationship with them has now extended into our Section 175 and other audits that we’d previously always struggled to collect.
“Although their tool allows us to do everything we need to, the team are always there to support and advise us, and the key to that is sharing both regional and national best practise.”
Sam Anderson, Safeguarding Partnership Business Manager, Dudley Safeguarding People Partnership
Phew’s Audit System also addresses the critical need for efficient data analysis. The platform generates in-depth reports, allowing users to view progress by audit, organisation, and status. This rapid access to collated data enables quick creation of action plans and insightful reports, supporting immediate decision-making and future practice improvements.
The impact of Phew’s system is substantial. Organisations using the platform report saving the equivalent of one month per year in admin time. This time saving, combined with improved data accuracy and higher completion rates, allows for more thorough analysis and follow-up.
By streamlining the audit process and providing powerful analysis tools, Phew’s Audit System empowers organisations to collect and utilise data more effectively. This enhanced accuracy and efficiency in data management ultimately contributes to better decision-making and improved outcomes in Children’s Services.
With over 100 clients already benefiting from its features, Phew’s Audit System is proving to be a game-changer in enhancing data accuracy and efficiency in safeguarding audits.
