Field notes
The sample workflow assigns different alerts by severity: the page shows a high flag going to a supervising social worker and a critical flag also reaching the agency owner. It says carers can write a single day or several days together, with medication, appointments and family time recorded alongside diary entries. The homepage also presents Ofsted-readiness checks based on existing records; these are described as product functionality, not independently verified outcomes.
