Edulink One is equipped with a Child Protection<\/strong> icon to facilitate child protection referrals. All employees can refer child protection incidents to the Child Protection Team<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a stand alone function and does not write back to the MIS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must first enable the Child Protection tab<\/a> in the administration settings to begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make a child protection referral, employees must log in to Edulink One using the app or website and click on the Child Protection<\/strong> icon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All employees will have a My Referrals<\/strong> tab and a New<\/strong> Referral<\/strong> button in the top left corner of the window. Depending on your level of access, you might also have a Manage <\/strong>tab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The table records the date of the referral, the student it pertains to and whether the referral has been acknowledged by a member of the Child Protection Team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
