Participation with care
The school pilot uses age-appropriate introductions, with the ability to pause, skip or stop. Suitability and accessibility are agreed before participation; the Baseline is not claimed to be validated for every age.
Our approach
No single moment
tells the whole story.
A child may be quiet at school, inventive at home and confident in a small group. Each perspective is real. None is the whole child.
Our work begins with the conditions around a response, then asks what could help.
Observation is a beginning
What happened?
What was around it?
A response is something we notice. Context helps us consider why it happened. An interpretation remains a question until the evidence supports it.
ObservationContextOpen interpretation
01 / A change in perspective
Quiet in class.
Full of ideas elsewhere.
Choose a perspective. See how a different observation changes the next question. The child does not need a new label.
One child.
More than one perspective.
1 of 5 perspectives explored.
Not a confidence score.
School / Fictional observation

Before making an assumption
What does quiet actually tell us?
Very little about understanding on its own. Ask how the child prefers to explain an idea before drawing a conclusion.
Still unknown. We cannot infer low ability, low interest or low confidence from silence.
Fictional example. These five perspectives explain our principle; they are not five data feeds collected by the school pilot. Each service uses relevant, agreed evidence. No assessment, diagnosis or predicted improvement is produced here.
Understanding becomes useful through action
- 01
Recognise
Notice what happened, without turning one response into a label.
- 02
Understand
Look for context and supporting evidence. Keep alternative explanations open.
- 03
Act
Choose a practical change that the child’s adults can try.
- 04
Review
Notice the response, ask what helped and revise the next step.
School, Home, Peers, Activities and Self are contextual lenses. They are not a requirement to collect every kind of information in every service. Scope, purpose, suitability and permissions determine the evidence used.
Responsible intelligence
Care is part
of the method.
Technology should help adults ask better questions and make more considered decisions. It does not know a child better than the people who care for them.
Read our privacy informationInterpretations stay open
Profiles distinguish observations, possible contextual patterns and the strength of the evidence. They do not diagnose, recognise emotions or assign fixed learning styles.
Data has a defined purpose
The pilot design does not retain raw audio by default. Relevant transcripts, evidence markers, interpretations and outputs may be retained during the agreed pilot period, with purpose-limited, role-based access.
Safeguarding remains human
Sensitive material does not belong in ordinary teacher profiles. Concerns require a separate human-led escalation pathway. Children are not promised absolute confidentiality; adults remain accountable for decisions.
Schools guide family communication
School permissions and agreed channels govern sharing with families. A parent contact list is not required to begin the school pathway.
