ABOUT KINNECTIONS
Why preventative safeguarding starts with visibility.
Schools and early learning services play a vital role in children's safety, connection, wellbeing, and development. Alongside teaching and learning, educators are increasingly expected to notice when children may be disconnected, unsafe, or struggling, and respond before concerns become more serious.
Many educators already do this work with great care, but busy classrooms and limited systems can make it difficult to hear from every child regularly. Kinnections was created to make structured child voice check-ins more consistent, giving children a safe way to share what is happening and helping educators identify support needs earlier.
Built by educators, for earlier safeguarding visibility.
Kinnections is a secure web-based system designed to make regular child voice check-ins practical, consistent, and visible across a school or early learning service. It gives educators a simple way to understand each child's sense of connection, safety, hope, and general wellbeing, and identify when extra support may be needed.
Because responses are captured, collated, and presented through clear dashboards and individual profiles, educators, safeguarding leads, and support teams can see patterns that may otherwise be missed. This helps schools and services move from relying on what is noticed in the moment to building a more consistent picture of each child's safety, connection, and support needs over time.
OUR MISSION
To ensure every child is connected, respected, protected and able to reach their full potential.
Kinnections Founder
Josh Vaughan
CEO, Kinnections Australia Pty Ltd
I built Kinnections because I know how deeply educators care, and how difficult it can be to notice every child who may need support early enough.
Kinnections was created to make regular child voice check-ins easier, more consistent, and more visible, so schools and early learning services can identify concerns earlier and help children stay connected, safe, and on track.
- Schools and services are uniquely placed to reach children regularly.
- Early support in education settings can change outcomes.
- When support is available through schools and services, more children and families can access help earlier.
