A distinctive Kinnections capability
Identifying the children others may miss.
Most student support tools rely on children speaking up or adults noticing visible signs. Kinnections also reveals hidden patterns of peer connection, helping educators identify children who may be quietly isolated, overlooked, or disconnected.
One of the most powerful aspects of Kinnections is its ability to identify children who may be socially isolated or disconnected from their peers.
Through simple peer-connection mapping, educators can better understand classroom relationships and notice children who may otherwise remain invisible within busy learning environments.
Disconnected children are vulnerable children.
Early visibility creates opportunities for earlier support.
Make every child's voice part of your safeguarding rhythm.
Kinnections gives teachers and educators a simple way to guide children through the Kinnections Conversation. Each Kinnections Conversation helps identify peer connections, positive future focus, feelings of safety, emotional wellbeing, and help-seeking, giving schools and services earlier visibility when a child may be disconnected, unsafe, or unable to seek help.
Turn children's responses into clear, actionable insight.
Kinnections provides tailored dashboards for individual children, classes, and the wider school or service community. Educators, safeguarding leads, and support teams can view patterns across different groups, track changes over time, and identify where support may be needed before concerns escalate.
Create tailored surveys for the moments that matter.
Kinnections includes a flexible survey builder, allowing schools and services to ask targeted questions when new issues, concerns, or opportunities arise. Educators can create simple custom surveys for children, families, or staff, using formats such as yes/no, multiple choice, emoticons, and short or long text responses.
Responses are automatically collated into clear, usable data that remains accessible to your school or service over time, helping teams identify emerging safeguarding and support patterns and decide what to do next.
