Meet us at the National Safeguarding Conference

Safeguarding is the absolute cornerstone of every primary school. It’s a responsibility that requires constant vigilance, clear communication, and the most effective tools available. That’s why we are thrilled to be exhibiting at Child Protection in Education: the national safeguarding conference on 23rd September at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, London Tower Bridge.

This key event is a focal point for education professionals dedicated to updating their knowledge, sharing best practices, and ensuring their settings are as safe as possible. We can’t think of a better place to showcase how the Fetching platform is designed to transform one of the most critical—and often hectic—parts of the school day: the home-time collection.

Safeguarding at Its Heart: The Fetching Mission

The end-of-day bell shouldn’t signal a period of heightened anxiety. Yet, managing who is collecting which child, verifying identities, and handling last-minute changes can be a significant admin burden and, more importantly, a potential safeguarding risk.

The Fetching platform is built to eliminate this worry. With safeguarding at its core, our system ensures your school is kept fully informed of who is picking up each child. You gain complete visibility over everyone approved for collection by parents via the Fetching app. Crucially, every single app user must verify their identity, creating a trusted network where no one can create a fake profile.

Why Should Schools Choose Fetching?

We designed Fetching to solve real problems for schools, parents, and the environment:

• Reduce Admin: Say goodbye to a flood of last-minute calls and emails about collection changes. All updates are handled instantly and securely through the app.
• Eliminate Risk: Replace paper lists and memory games with a secure, digital system. Verified identities and clear permissions ensure the right child is only ever released to the right person.
• Support Parents: By making it easy to manage and approve alternative collectors (like other parents), we encourage shared school runs. This builds community spirit and helps reduce traffic at the school gates.

Complete Control from 'Class Dismissed' to 'Collected'

Fetching gives your whole team the tools they need for a safe and efficient dismissal:

• Whole-Team Access: Invite multiple staff members to the platform. Everyone responsible for releasing children, from teachers to the office team, will have instant access to the live collection information they need.
• Digital Safeguarding Record: Our simple ‘Collected’ button does more than just notify parents; it builds a secure, digital record of exactly when and by whom each child left school.
• Independence with Peace of Mind: For older children permitted to walk home alone, the ‘Left Alone’ button provides a clear notification to parents that their child has begun their journey home.

Join Us at the National Safeguarding Conference

This year’s conference themes—from the latest legal updates and creating safer online environments to engaging families—resonate deeply with our mission. We believe technology should empower schools to meet these challenges head-on.

We invite you to visit our stand to see a live demo of Fetching, ask questions, and discuss how we can help you streamline your safeguarding processes. Let’s work together to make school collections safer, simpler, and smarter.

We look forward to meeting you on the 23rd of September!
