Essential Insight for a brighter today

i-childessential is a powerful analytical application, designed to draw together both looked after and child protection analytics to enable analysis and best practices to be shared, adopted and optimised.  The application consists of data structures, focused reports and complex dashboards, designed to significantly advance an authority’s capability to improve children’s outcomes.

Our essential children’s application delivers clear and comprehensive insight that can be leveraged to safeguard children, focus resources and ensure overall service quality is continuously measured.  Critically, i-childessential also includes the production of key statutory returns, which are built using Igneous’ vast knowledge base.

The ‘Every Child Matters (ECM)’ agenda has seen fundamental changes to the structure of local authorities. Children‘s departments must continually build stronger partnerships with education, private and voluntary sectors. A collaborative approach is foundation to the success of reducing client risk and maximising resources.  The power of i-childessential ensures that awareness to safeguarding children is heightened through placing information in the reach of staff at all levels.  Crucially, the children’s team has at their fingertips a complete set of reporting and analytical tools to support the entire decision-making process.

i-childessential presents a simple yet dynamic way to explore child related information with a view to providing better outcomes. The application focuses on both Looked After children and those who are either at risk or are on the Child Protection Register. Unique in its approach, i-childessential goes beyond simply producing key statutory returns. It crucially empowers managers in meeting both strategic and operational goals.

Meeting Needs

i-childessential focuses on the key needs of managers. Basic reporting covers critical information required in order to safeguard children and ensure they are provided for. For example, reports are provided on due and overdue child assessments, reviews, immunisations, medicals and path way plans. Many reports have the added flexibility of being able to be run by team and worker. This information is placed at the fingertips of managers and supports their decisions and resource deployment.

Child Centred Rich Reporting

The demand for child centred timely information in context of strategic goals and performance measures continually grows. No single existing system can deliver this.

Where current reports fall short additional spreadsheets are developed resulting in a loss of resource and potential quality issues.

i-childessential draws together information from disparate systems to provide a complete picture. The depth and breadth of the reports and analysis incorporated in i-childessential is purpose rich and unparalleled. 

A Better Tomorrow

Providing timely and intelligent information that support decision makers is essential. Local Authorities are challenged to continuously improve performance.

i-childessential holds the power to link future tasks that must be completed in order to meet an objective. For example, assessments that will fail a time scale indicator can be monitored.

This empowers managers to be pro-active rather than simply analysing data without the fore-knowledge to change outcomes.

Innovative and Unique

Demands to improve performance within the constraints of ever decreasing budgets are a continual challenge.

Our essential children’s application is a cost effective and unique in its approach.

Managing budgets covering multiple agency services with the aim of improving delivery, whilst developing targeted services and improving performance is all within your grasp with i-childessential.
