The absence & wellbeing loop

Report once, before 09:00. The adult the family knows acknowledges the same morning, sessions rearrange, teachers are told, the record updates — and the pattern is watched with care, not suspicion. The loop closes around the family, not on them.

P3 · the report routes to her own mentor, not an office queue P9 · status and category travel — medical detail never does P4 · self-funded placements never surface to any LA
Service run S8 — the loop Parent-initiated · human-acknowledged · pattern-watched · scoped onward THE SYSTEM WATCHES. THE MENTOR ACTS. Parent / carer reports before 09:00 · reason category + expected return · no medical detail asked AT THE FAMILY PORTAL · THE GATE Her mentor acknowledges same morning · a human reply, never an auto-reply · one gentle question IN THE MENTOR’S ROOM Sessions rearranged subject teachers notified in-flow — no form-chasing, no “where is she?” call AT THE TEACHING DESK ONE-WAY · S3 Attendance record updated status + DfE code (I · M · N), never medical detail one record · three renderings — family, staff, commissioner Pattern check 5 / 10 / 15 sessions BELOW THRESHOLD Loop closed next-day check-in as usual · work picks up where it left off AT THRESHOLD Supportive review mentor · guardian · DSL support, not penalty Commissioner view LA-commissioned placements only · status and pattern, never the conversation IN THE INSPECTION CHAMBER · S7 P4
Drawing No. OAP-NEO-003 · after absence-and-wellbeing-loop.md v0.2 Unreported absence runs the inverse loop — the mentor contacts the family the same morning. NOOMA surfaces the pattern; it never auto-actions a review and never contacts a family.

One loop, this morning — Yasmin

See it from each seat: the family portal · the mentor’s room · the teaching desk · the inspection chamber.

One record, three renderings

Same session · never three records
The family sees

“Recorded as illness — the same code, I, schools use, so nothing needs re-explaining later.”

Staff see

I — illness (physical or mental health) · reported 08:05 · acknowledged 08:19 · sessions moved to Thu.

The commissioner sees

The code-mapped record + the register-transposition note (B or K, agreed at commissioning). NEO doesn’t hold the statutory register — the sending school does.

Explicitly out of scope: anonymised illness-trend sharing with public-health bodies — that would be its own amber review and DPIA, not an extension of this loop.

Tour · stop 7 of 8

One 08:05 report closes the whole loop — follow Yasmin’s timeline through five rooms. Status travels; medical detail never does. And note the gate drawn before the feature: amber review + DPIA.
