Scottish ASN teachers spend hours every week on admin. Child’s Plans, Team Around the Child Minutes, IEPs all take time:
- Teachers are pulled away from direct student support.
- Statutory deadlines are at risk of being missed.
- Errors in paperwork can lead to students lacking necessary support and costly legal issues.
- Excessive admin eats into evenings and weekends.
Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent with a child.
Trellis - giving ASN teachers their time back

UK-based, encrypted data storage with full audit trail | Staff can be confident data is handled in a way that meets ICO guidelines and GDPR regulation; less data risk than hand written notes |
