Your SLSOs are where they need to be.
And you can prove it.

01 · THE WEEKLY BUILD

Build the week around continuity, not coloured cells.

A roster that maximises continuity within your staff hours and student plans. Swap and override the edge cases — the continuity figure updates live, so every trade-off is explicit.

• Roster by student, class, period, room and day — funded and non-funded.
• Auto-build from staff hours, student plans and preferred pairings.
• Draft before publish — review changes before SLSOs are asked to act.
• Clash warnings that tell shared support apart from the impossible.

02 · ON THE DAY

An SLSO calls in sick at 7:50. Now what?

Open Vantage. The students they cover are flagged. Suggested re-allocations rank by continuity with the student, funding context and availability. One decision per session publishes the change to every affected staff member’s roster.

• Personal mobile rosters for every SLSO — always current.
• Email notifications when a shift is reassigned.
• Reason codes captured — they appear in the compliance record automatically.
• Backfill suggestions consider the casual pool and free-period staff.

03 · CONTINUITY

The same SLSO, the same student — as often as the timetable allows.

Continuity is the difference between a support relationship and a series of strangers. Vantage tracks it as a first-class figure and optimises for it on every change.

1. Tag preferred pairings. Mark “Lucas works best with Alena” — these become soft constraints on every roster build.
2. Auto-build the week. A proposed roster maximises continuity within your staff hours and student plans.
3. Tune the edge cases. Swap, reassign, override. The continuity figure updates live, so trade-offs are explicit, not invisible.
4. Track week over week. See continuity per student across the term. Spot the kid whose support keeps shifting before it’s a complaint.

04 · REPORTING & EVIDENCE

Planned support, delivered support, and the evidence to back it.

Mark sessions delivered as they happen, then export by student, funding code or date range. When the funding conversation or the review panel comes, the record is already written — not reconstructed from a spreadsheet the night before.

• Planned vs delivered hours and coverage for every funded student.
• Broken down by funding code and NCCD level, the way a panel asks for it.
• Export to CSV or a panel-ready PDF in a click.

05 · WHAT IT REPLACES

The fragile system most schools have today.

Funded support deployment is one of the most consequential things a school does — and one of the most poorly tooled. Vantage replaces the patchwork.
