What Does ‘All Student Support in One Place’ Actually Look Like?
‘All student support in one place’ is a phrase often used in education technology, but for schools it can feel abstract. The real question is not the wording, it is whether it genuinely reduces workload, improves consistency and supports inclusive practice.
This is the problem Inspire – Learning with Diversity is designed to solve.
In many schools, student support information is spread across multiple systems and documents. Learning adjustments sit in one place, wellbeing notes in another, behaviour records elsewhere, and NCCD evidence is often pulled together retrospectively.
A centralised approach changes that experience entirely.
From Fragmented Information to a Shared Student View
‘All student support in one place’ means having a single, shared view of each student rather than scattered records.
With Inspire, schools can:
Bring learning adjustments, supports and notes together in one place
Maintain current, structured information and make it accessible to the right people
Support continuity of planning across teachers, year levels and transitions.
Instead of reconstructing information later, teams work from a complete picture as it develops.
Supporting Collaboration, Not Silos
Student support is never the responsibility of one role. Teachers, learning support staff, wellbeing teams and leaders all contribute, yet without shared systems that work can easily become siloed.
Inspire supports collaboration by:
Enabling shared ownership of student support
Reducing reliance on informal handovers or individual knowledge
Supporting consistent practice across teams and year levels
As Linda Warner, Inspire’s Inclusion Support Advisor, explains:
“When working as a Principal, I saw how much time staff spent chasing information that already existed, just not in the same place. When teams can see the same information and contribute to it together, student support becomes more consistent, more sustainable and far less reactive.”
NCCD Confidence Built Through Everyday Practice
NCCD requirements are a reality for schools.
Inspire supports schools by:
Capturing adjustments and supports as part of everyday work
Structuring information in line with NCCD categories
Building evidence progressively rather than retrospectively.
This reflects broader sector expectations that inclusive education is ongoing, embedded and supported by clear systems, not last-minute effort.
From Individual Support to Whole-School Insight
Beyond individual students, Inspire enables leaders to:
Identify patterns and trends across cohorts
Understand where supports are effective and where gaps exist
Make informed decisions about resourcing and strategy
Ultimately, ‘all student support in one place’ means schools can approach inclusion with clarity rather than complexity, supported by systems that work with them rather than against them.
