Welfare Call & Wonde

Setting the Standard for Attendance Data Collection

Accurate, secure, and actionable attendance data — every single day

At Welfare Call, our mission is to help Virtual Schools and Local Authorities safeguard vulnerable children through insight-led data. That starts with ensuring the attendance information we collect is accurate, timely, and secure — because when it comes to protecting children, data has to drive action.

We were the first in the sector to partner with Wonde, and together, we’ve built one of the most advanced and reliable attendance monitoring solutions available today. It’s a partnership defined not by technology alone, but by trust, precision, and a shared focus on improving outcomes for children.

Built on Accuracy. Powered by Partnership.

Through our collaboration with Wonde, attendance data flows seamlessly from school MIS systems directly into the Welfare Call platform.
This ensures Local Authorities and Virtual Schools have instant access to the most accurate, relevant, and up-to-date information — without duplication, delay, or data loss.

Key outcomes of this partnership include:

  • Connection to thousands of education provisions across the UK
  • Bespoke data extraction protocols built exclusively for Welfare Call
  • A hybrid model combining automated extraction with human-led verification
  • Real-time, actionable insights for Virtual Schools and Local Authorities

The result is a system designed around the reality of safeguarding — one that combines precision technology with the human insight needed to make sense of it.

Custom-Built for Confidence

We know that trust is everything when handling sensitive information. That’s why Wonde has developed bespoke coding exclusively for Welfare Call, guaranteeing that we only connect to and collect data for the children we are legally mandated to support.

This approach protects schools and children alike — ensuring compliance, safeguarding integrity, and complete data privacy.

Every connection is secure. Every transfer is verified. Every dataset is used solely to support the children who need it most.

Why It Matters

For Virtual Schools and Local Authorities, attendance is often the first indicator that a child might need help. Missing marks aren’t just numbers — they’re signals that something could be wrong.

By combining automated MIS extraction via Wonde with our dedicated calling team, Welfare Call provides a complete, contextual view of attendance across every cohort and setting.

Our service delivers:

  • Real-time attendance updates directly from schools
  • Contextual information gathered through direct daily contact
  • Visibility of exclusions, persistent absence, and reduced timetables
  • Trend analysis across schools, cohorts, and placement types

This isn’t data for data’s sake — it’s insight that drives action.
Local Authorities use it to:

  • Identify concerns early and intervene before issues escalate
  • Monitor the effectiveness of interventions
  • Strengthen safeguarding responses
  • Reduce absenteeism and promote engagement

Every piece of data feeds directly into our Analytics platform, where users can explore patterns, track performance, and make evidence-based decisions with confidence.

Flexible by Design

We recognise that every Local Authority operates differently. That’s why our approach is flexible.

  • Some customers prefer fully automated MIS data extraction.
  • Others value our human-led calling service for its added context and reassurance.
  • Many choose a hybrid model, combining both for the best of automation and personal oversight.

Whichever approach you take, the outcome is the same: accurate, timely, and trusted attendance data that helps you act faster and more effectively.

The Future of Attendance Monitoring

Welfare Call’s collaboration with Wonde represents a step change in how attendance data supports safeguarding.

Together, we’re driving a smarter, faster, and more connected approach to monitoring attendance across schools and provisions — reducing administrative burden, improving accuracy, and empowering professionals to make better decisions.

It’s not just about collecting data.
It’s about connecting the right data, at the right time, to the right people — so every child gets the attention, support, and education they deserve.
