Using sleuth to Record Incidents

sleuth gathers data using an electronic incident report form to record details of the incident using three data entry screens:

Record Were Record Who Record Action
where and when

who and what

actions taken

date, time, period, subject, location and staff involved student name(s) and their behaviour in the incident action, action date and the member of staff responsible

sleuth can be adapted to an individual school's environment and behaviour policy. All look-up fields, list-boxes and click-pads can be added to, deleted from, edited and re-ordered so that data entry uses familiar terminology and follows the procedures in the behaviour policy. As the policy develops, so does sleuth.

Incident details can be entered in seconds without the need for any typing, just click on the options, if you need to enter additional comments you can. To print a letter to a parent, tick the box on the action screen, the entire letter is constructed for you, edit the body text if you wish and click print.
