Safeguarding readiness
Find missing linked contacts and telephone details needing review before staff need those records urgently.
Education Insight Manager by Education Host
School and college data quality you can evidence.
When a governor asks how you know your data is accurate, you need evidence. Education Insight Manager helps you find gaps, assign action and verify progress across your MIS and approved wider data sources.
- Support compliance with a repeatable checking process
- See who owns each issue and what still needs action
- Choose MIS assurance or extend to wider data sources
For headteachers, college principals and trust leaders. Explore the product and agree your data scope in a demo.
The reason to act
A data gap becomes a leadership problem when someone relies on it.
An incomplete contact record matters when you need to reach a family. An inconsistent learner record matters when it feeds a return. An unresolved finding matters when leaders are asked what action was taken.
Reporting confidence
Investigate underlying record inconsistencies throughout the year, reducing avoidable rework before reporting deadlines.
Leadership assurance
Know what was checked, who is resolving the findings and where evidence is still missing.
Know your data
What is Education Insight Manager?
Education Insight Manager is data quality and compliance assurance software for schools, colleges and trusts. It brings checks, searchable evidence, monitored issue views and improvement workflows together so leaders can see where data needs attention and track the response.
Start with authorised MIS data, or extend your view to agreed files, datasets and other sources. Understand where information came from, how current it is and what can actually be assessed.
Make your existing MIS work harder
Why buy data quality software if you already have an MIS?
Your MIS remains the source of record. Education Insight Manager adds a consistent assurance process around the data you rely on, helping teams turn individual checks into owned, monitored and evidenced improvement.
| Your MIS | Education Insight Manager adds |
|---|---|
| Records pupil or learner information | A clear view of missing values, inconsistencies and review queries |
| Provides reports and its own validation checks | Recurring issue monitoring, trends and agreed quality targets |
| Holds the authoritative correction | Ownership, due dates and later-import evidence that a fix has worked |
| Supports daily institutional operations | A consistent assurance view across authorised schools and approved sources |
Many MIS products already flag errors. The added value is sustained follow-through and leadership visibility. Source corrections stay in your established process; general automatic MIS write-back is not assumed.
Compliance needs evidence
Show how you manage data accuracy, not just that you have a policy.
Education Insight Manager helps turn data responsibilities into practical checks, assigned actions and retained evidence. These are the duties and expectations that make that work matter.
UK GDPR: take reasonable steps on accuracy
Article 5(1)(d) requires accurate personal data and updates where necessary, with inaccurate data corrected or erased without delay.
Use repeatable checks to identify records requiring review and follow their resolution.
ICO: accuracy principleUK GDPR: demonstrate accountability
Article 5(2) requires organisations to demonstrate compliance. Article 24 requires proportionate measures that are reviewed as necessary.
Keep dated findings, ownership and evidence of follow-up to support leadership assurance.
ICO: accountability and governanceSafeguarding: review contact gaps
KCSIE says schools and colleges should, where reasonably possible, hold more than one emergency contact number per pupil or student. It explicitly goes beyond the legal minimum.
Identify missing linked contacts and telephone-format issues for investigation. A valid format does not prove a number works or is an emergency contact.
DfE: Keeping children safe in educationSchools: prepare reliable statutory returns
School census pupil returns are a statutory requirement for schools in scope. Admission and attendance registers also have specific legal requirements.
Find underlying identity and enrolment inconsistencies before reporting deadlines. Available checks support preparation; they do not validate an entire census or attendance register.

Accurate and timely ILR returns are a funding assurance requirement. DfE may identify failures as a funding risk and take further action.
Agree checks around your college’s connected learner data. Dedicated ILR validation and funding-rule coverage must be confirmed separately.

Choose the coverage your institution needs.
Both options focus on knowing your data and evidencing improvement. Choose MIS assurance for your core records, or wider data assurance when important information also sits outside your MIS.
Your core pupil and learner records
MIS assurance
For leaders who need a consistent way to understand and improve the quality of authorised MIS data.
- Checks on supported identity, enrolment and contact data

- Saved issue views, monitoring and quality trends
- Assigned findings, review notes and correction tasks
- Verification against a later complete source import
Know which MIS records need attention, who owns the work and what evidence shows progress.
MIS data plus agreed additional sources
Wider data assurance
For institutions where spreadsheets, departmental systems and document stores also hold information that leaders need to understand.
- Everything in MIS assurance
- Agreed CSV/Excel datasets and supported API or SQL sources
- SharePoint lists or libraries, subject to Microsoft permissions and setup
- Search and saved views across approved datasets
- Linked datasets and source provenance
- Document search and OCR where configured and verified
Bring more of your institution’s data into a consistent process for review, monitoring and accountability.
Package scope, source access, refresh schedules and pricing are agreed with you. MIS mappings, college coverage and wider connectors are confirmed during scoping; production integration requirements vary by source.
From a finding to evidence
How does Education Insight Manager work?
A repeatable workflow gives staff a clear next step and leaders a clearer view of progress.
- 1
Agree what matters
Scope your sources, permissions and priority questions around safeguarding readiness, reporting and data accuracy.
- 2
Check and monitor
Review available checks and saved issue views on complete imports. See coverage gaps alongside the findings.
- 3
Assign and investigate
Give findings an owner and due date. Record review notes and justified, time-limited exceptions.
- 4
Correct and verify
Correct the authoritative source through your normal process. Review later-import evidence before treating the task as resolved.
Real product evidence
Know what was checked. Return to the evidence.
A single score cannot tell you whether every record was assessed. Education Insight Manager separates confirmed errors, review queries and unassessed outcomes, and retains saved audit results for later review.
- See assessment coverage alongside check results
- Keep unavailable data distinct from confirmed blanks
- Revisit saved snapshots and dated audit evidence
- Avoid treating an incomplete or failed import as a clean result
Built around the questions education leaders have to answer.
Headteachers
Which pupil records need attention before staff rely on them? Give your team priorities and governors evidence of follow-through.
College principals
Where are the gaps in our learner data? Agree coverage around your college’s systems and give teams a consistent review process.
Trust leaders
Where do our authorised schools need support? Apply consistent checks and review recurring issues across your permitted school scope.
Give the right people the evidence they need.
School and trust scopes and role-based permissions control who can review data and findings. Wider-source permissions and deployment controls are agreed during scoping, so visibility follows authorised access.
Your MIS, compliance and package questions answered
What is Education Insight Manager?
Education Insight Manager is data quality and compliance assurance software for schools, colleges and trusts. It helps teams identify gaps in approved data, assign action, monitor issues and retain evidence of improvement.
Why do we need Education Insight Manager if our MIS already checks data?
Education Insight Manager complements MIS validation with recurring monitoring, ownership, review history and later-import verification. Its value is helping leaders see that findings are being addressed consistently, including across authorised schools and approved wider sources.
What is the difference between the two packages?
MIS assurance focuses on supported data from your authorised MIS connection. Wider data assurance includes MIS assurance and adds agreed files, datasets and supported external sources, with connections and permissions confirmed during scoping.
Does Education Insight Manager make us GDPR compliant?
No. Education Insight Manager supports accuracy and accountability work through checks, ownership and evidence, but your institution retains responsibility for lawful processing, security, retention and compliance decisions.
Can it help us review safeguarding contact information?
Yes. Education Insight Manager can highlight missing linked contacts and telephone details requiring review where the source data is available. Telephone-format checks do not establish reachability, ownership or emergency-contact status.
Which MIS systems and other data sources can connect?
Education Insight Manager’s MIS data coverage depends on your provider’s mapping and approved access, including supported Wonde data. The wider package can include agreed file imports, API or SQL datasets and SharePoint sources; each connection and production requirement is confirmed during scoping.
Is Education Insight Manager suitable for colleges and ILR checking?
Education Insight Manager can be scoped around a college’s approved learner datasets and review priorities. College-specific mappings, dedicated ILR validation and funding-rule coverage must be confirmed separately; the platform is not presented as a complete ILR validation service.
Does it change records in our MIS automatically?
No general automatic MIS write-back is assumed. Education Insight Manager supports source-correction tasks and verification against later complete imports, keeping authoritative corrections within your established process.
Can trust leaders review more than one school?
Yes. Education Insight Manager supports authorised school and trust scopes. What each user can see depends on their membership, role and source permissions.
