Looked After Call Users
In order to log in to Looked After Call, you will require a user account. To manage who can access the different areas of the system and keep the children's data secure, each user has a role assigned to them. This means some users can carry out some tasks that others cannot.
List of User Roles
The currently available user roles are;
Designated Teacher
- Social Worker
- LA User
- LA Super User
Roles should be assigned as closely as possible according to the job function of the person to whom the account relates.
For example;
- a teacher in a school who is responsible for the Looked After Children in their school should have the role "Designated Teacher".
- A member of the school office staff who may also need to access the system would also have this role as it is the closest one available.
- a member of staff that works for the Virtual School as either a Social Worker or Social Care Worker should have the role "Social Worker"
- This would also apply to managers in the virtual school.
More roles will become available in future as the system is developed.
