From the simple, quick and easy recording of rewards and incidents to the weighting of their importance (according to your local needs) and the fantastic analytical tools, this "live" service is outstanding. It stops staff running around chasing their tails allowing them the time to analyse and reflect in order to plan interventions and subsequently monitor their effectiveness. In short it takes away the leg work and turns the largely anecdotal and unspecific paper mountain into extremely powerful and visual feedback which can then be effectively utilised in driving strategy (behaviour for learning, inclusion, ECM, CPD) and it also clearly pinpoints hotspots and supervision issues. Most importantly IRIS very quickly becomes proactive not reactive.
Lancashire Short Stay Schools are all investing in or encouraging their mainstream partners to have a good long look at IRIS!
