TruancyGuard

Truancy and non-attendance by students is an international problem experienced by schools across the social and economic spectrum. In 2007 the UK alone spent over £750 million combating truancy, only for the problem to get significantly worse. It is widely recognised that this growing problem requires a more technically advanced solution to combat the problem directly, while at the same time working in other areas to address the root causes of truancy.

TruancyGuard is the solution to the technology side of this complex and deep rooted problem. By combining biometric recording of student attendance with highly advanced reporting, many common excuses for truancy can be eliminated overnight. The system is user friendly and student data is protected in a range of ways, making it impossible to recreate any fingerprint image from the data that is stored. It is impossible for students to fake their attendance or check in for each other, and by notifying parents of student non-attendance automatically the amount of paperwork and manual following up on an individual student basis is drastically reduced. The growing problem of parents denying knowledge of truancy is also combated. Schools can divert the huge amount of time that is saved by automating the attendance management process back into the core function of education, confident that student attendance information is accurate. The inevitable human error factor that comes with any regular manual data recording is also completely eliminated. 

A highly advanced product such as TruancyGuard has numerous features, many of which are customised to individual school or college requirements. In order to find out more specific information, or to arrange a demonstration of the system, please contact us today.
