Security & Safeguarding
Protecting every trainee, mentor and partner school in your ITE network
A robust, secure platform designed to uphold the highest international standards of data protection, privacy and safeguarding – built specifically for Initial Teacher Education providers.
Security and safeguarding designed for ITE partnerships
IRIS Connect supports safe collaboration between Providers, host schools, mentors and trainees — protecting everyone involved in the learning journey.
Our platform provides the right balance of visibility and control so data remains secure, accessible and accountable at every level.
Data Control
Providers and schools retain ownership of their own data.
Secure Networks
Collaboration networks connect all stakeholders safely.
User Permissions
Access is role-based and customisable for each context.
Transparency
Every action is logged for full accountability.
Built for trust and collaboration
Supporting your provider-school partners
Our ITE Program Management feature enables Providers to create secure collaboration networks that include placement or host schools.
Providers can view, manage and quality-assure training while schools maintain control and visibility.
We support communication and governance across stakeholders – helping build trust and clarity across your entire ITE network.
Privacy by design - you decide who sees what
Our configurable sharing options ensure that every video, reflection and feedback exchange respects your organisation’s safeguarding standards.
- Sharing can be limited to individual trainees, mentors, or supervisors.
- All shared videos are view-only — they cannot be downloaded or reshared.
- Our anonymisation filter ensures compliance with certain safeguarding practices and provides protection for vulnerable students.
- Every view, comment and share is tracked through a secure audit log.
These permissions help maintain confidentiality while allowing rich professional collaboration.
Secure by default - from recording to review
The IRIS Connect Record app ensures that recordings are automatically uploaded to our secure cloud environment and deleted from the device once complete.
All files are encrypted in transit and at rest, with access restricted to authorised users only.
Every upload, playback and deletion follows strict authentication protocols, ensuring safe handling of sensitive teaching footage.
Security guidance for every region
Our international support team can provide guidance to help you meet your country’s regulatory and safeguarding requirements.
We offer documentation, onboarding and compliance advice to help your ITE programme operate safely and efficiently from day one.
