Absence management software for schools and MATs

Access Education People's absence management software is inspired by HR professionals and designed to support schools through various challenges, ensuring smooth operations and continued efficiency.

Is your school or MAT suffering from…

  • A reliance on email or spreadsheets to track staff absences?
  • Your HR team being bogged down with absence and sickness requests?
  • An inability to use your data to influence decision making at SLT level?
  • Already having an in-house system that no one uses?

Proactively manage who’s off, who’s sick and where staff are working in just a few clicks using our sickness absence management system. Configured by education experts and with automated return to work processes, sickness is accurately tracked and managed in-line with your school or MAT’s HR policies.

Respond to employee absence with our easy-to-use tool

Access Education People is our absence management tool, which is available through Access Evo. Your team can log in from anywhere with a secure internet connection, meaning you can provide an insight into absence and sickness in the office, during meetings and when working remotely.

Efficiently record absences

HR teams can easily log absences and include detailed information for improved monitoring. This allows for the tracking of staff locations and well-being during periods of school closure, identifying those in self-isolation, working remotely, on-site, or off sick (regardless of the cause).

Configure absence alerts

Customisable alerts are in place to promptly notify relevant personnel when specific absence thresholds, as defined by your school, are reached.

Report on absence data

Comprehensive reports are accessible for all staff, empowering employees to document their own absences, enabling managers to review their team’s attendance, and enabling HR to compile school- or trust-wide absence statistics.

Valuable insights

Gain a comprehensive overview of data to assess the impact of various factors, including the ability to track the influence of absences, on your school or MAT.

Reduce the HR burden

Your HR team will benefit from an efficient and easy to use system that has helped businesses achieve an 85% reduction in administration time, enabling them to focus on value-added tasks.

Limit the spread of sickness

Valuable data and insight into sickness and absences enables schools and trusts to improve people and business management.

Secure and GDPR compliant

Offering robust security and data protection, Access Education’s absence management software is fully GDPR-compliant and all data is stored securely in the UK.

Quick and easy set up

A web-based system which doesn’t require any software installation, it can be implemented quickly and easily.
