Summary

Involvement types are used when multiple pupils are associated to a concern. By recording involvement types, you can easily understand who is a victim, witness or perpetrator/instigator. Reports run on involvement type may help identify patterns in behaviour and lead to intervention.

This article will explain how to configure involvement types and how to use them.

Note: Duplicate labels and prefixes are not permitted, to avoid confusion.
