Coordinate learner-specific casework involving school staff, parents and carers, providers and authorised professionals without opening the learner's complete record to everyone involved.
EdiWay can connect case participants, meetings, tasks, evidence requests, case discussions and important history around one governed learner relationship.
Multi-agency work should have a clear learner, purpose and authorised group of participants. A case can bring together context such as:
Keep the work connected to the correct learner record.
Define why the case has been created.
Identify the people authorised to participate.
Keep professional affiliations clear.
Record actions and evidence requests.
Connect discussions to the case.
Maintain appropriate contributions.
Preserve important case activity over time. The case workspace supports collaboration. It should not create a second unrestricted version of the learner record.
Multi-agency work may involve people from different organisations. EdiWay's collaboration foundations can support learner-specific professional relationships around:
Participate according to their authorised responsibility.
Contribute where an appropriate relationship exists.
Work within their authorised scope.
Contribute through an appropriate learner relationship.
Participate where authorised.
Contribute appropriate information where enabled.
Participate through an appropriate family relationship.
Join only for a defined purpose. Professional access can be time-limited, suspended, revoked or closed as relationships change.
External access should depend on more than somebody saying they are a professional. EdiWay's current collaboration foundation includes organisation and practitioner relationship states around areas such as:
Which organisation is involved?
Which individual professional is participating?
Which learner does the relationship concern?
Why is collaboration required?
Is the relationship active?
When should access end?
Has participation been temporarily stopped?
Has authorisation been removed?
Has the professional relationship ended? A professional relationship with one learner should not become general access to other learners within the school.
EdiWay includes meeting foundations within the multi-agency case workspace. A case meeting can provide context around:
Keep the meeting attached to the correct learner case.
Identify the authorised people involved.
Preserve when the discussion occurred.
Keep the reason for the meeting clear.
Maintain appropriate case-scoped information.
Reference relevant information considered.
Record what needs to happen next.
Keep further work connected to the case. Meeting participation remains subject to permission and relationship boundaries. Not every professional connected to a learner should automatically be included in every meeting.
Multi-agency meetings are most useful when agreed actions remain connected to the discussion.
Record the next step.
Identify who is responsible.
Keep appropriate timescales visible.
Maintain the connection to the learner and purpose.
Ask for relevant supporting information where needed.
Keep outstanding work understandable.
Record the human-reviewed result.
Preserve previous actions rather than replacing them. An action records agreed work. It does not automatically make a professional recommendation or statutory decision binding.
A case may require information from another participant before the next review or decision. EdiWay's casework foundation supports evidence requests within the collaboration workspace.
Define what information is required.
Identify who is being asked to contribute.
Keep the evidence connected to the case need.
Make the expected response point clear where appropriate.
Keep supplied evidence attributable to its source.
Allow an authorised participant to consider the information.
Preserve the request and response context. An evidence request should not provide access to unrelated records simply because the contributor is part of the case.
EdiWay supports case-scoped professional discussion and notes within its multi-agency foundation. Access checks can consider active case membership, permissions and visibility before case information is displayed.
Maintain an appropriate professional contribution.
Keep the contributor clear.
Preserve relevant professional context.
Keep the contribution time-aware.
Restrict the note to the appropriate audience.
Allow appropriate case-focused communication.
Keep case information governed rather than copied through uncontrolled communication channels. External contributions remain attributable to the professional or organisation that supplied them.
Multi-agency case evidence may come from different parts of the learner journey. Depending on the case and permissions, that could include:
Appropriate school-held records.
Information supplied by parents and carers.
Relevant learner contribution.
Reports or observations from authorised professionals.
Appropriate information from alternative provision or other services.
Selected support information where permitted.
Records connected to case discussions and actions.
Controlled learner-case files where supported. Evidence should remain linked to its source rather than being silently rewritten as a shared professional conclusion.
The current EdiWay implementation includes bounded foundations for private learner-case binary evidence contribution. That allows the product direction to support documents or other case evidence without treating every uploaded file as visible to every participant. Where enabled, controls may consider:
Which case does the file concern?
Who supplied it?
Where did it originate?
Which active participants may access it?
Is the user authorised for the relevant information?
Why is the evidence being used?
What access or contribution activity should be preserved? Private external evidence remains an area requiring continued runtime and security assurance.
Material case activity can contribute to a shared learner timeline. The current foundation includes timeline events around areas such as:
When professional involvement started, changed or ended.
Important case transitions.
Relevant work-item changes.
Key meeting activity.
Appropriate changes in responsibility where supported.
Relevant provider or professional relationship history. A timeline provides chronology. It should not infer that events occurring close together have the same cause.
Where appropriate, family users can participate in collaboration workflows. Supported foundations include family-visible professional relationship requests and recorded responses. That can include:
Make the proposed professional involvement understandable.
Record relevant information where consent forms part of the workflow.
Preserve an appropriate positive response.
Record that the request was declined.
Maintain a reasoned objection where supported.
Allow appropriate family participation.
Keep the family’s contribution connected to the case. Recording a family response does not mean EdiWay determines its legal effect.
Some learner cases may involve a change in the organisation responsible for a particular part of the case. EdiWay's newer casework foundations include a bounded receiving-authority decision lifecycle and effective-dated authority-responsibility history. Where enabled, this may help record:
Which organisation currently holds the relevant recorded responsibility?
Which authorised organisation may receive the case responsibility?
What human decision was recorded?
When does the change apply?
Preserve previous responsibility.
Keep access aligned with the active relationship where possible. This capability records responsibility decisions. It does not determine statutory jurisdiction, legal responsibility or whether another authority must accept a case.
Some multi-agency cases may involve safeguarding professionals. That does not make the general case workspace the canonical safeguarding record.
Supports participants, meetings, actions, evidence and professional collaboration.
Maintains concerns, DSL review, safeguarding chronology, actions and authorised safeguarding decisions.
Remains subject to stronger domain restrictions.
Requires an appropriate safeguarding information-sharing decision.
Does not itself create a safeguarding finding.Maintain a reasoned objection where supported.
Does not replace statutory safeguarding procedures. Where safeguarding information needs to be shared, the authorised safeguarding workflow remains canonical.
Professional collaboration may include appropriately authorised health professionals. The platform can maintain learner-specific relationships and governed evidence context. It should not be presented as proving:
Health-origin evidence should remain attributable to its source and visible only within the appropriate permission scope.
Being a participant in a multi-agency case does not automatically provide access to every connected learner record.
Is the person currently authorised for this case?
Is the professional relationship valid?
Does the access concern the correct learner?
Why does the person need the information?
Do they have permission for the relevant type of record?
Is the particular note or evidence available to them?
Is their professional relationship still active?
Has access been removed?
Can appropriate access history be reviewed? The case provides collaboration context. The underlying permissions still control the data.

Yes.
EdiWay has code foundations for learner-specific professional relationships and case collaboration workspaces.
Yes, where each participant has an appropriate authorised relationship and case membership.
Meeting services are represented within the case collaboration foundation.
Bounded meeting-participant controls are represented, although wider runtime and concurrency assurance remains important.
The casework foundation includes tasks and work items that can support accountable follow-up.
Evidence requests are represented within the case collaboration workspace.
Secure case notes and case-scoped discussions are part of the current multi-agency capability set.
Private learner-case binary contribution has a bounded implementation foundation.
Wider runtime, access and security assurance remains required.
Yes.
Material case, relationship, task, meeting and responsibility transitions can feed the learner timeline.
Family-visible relationship requests, consent context and decline or objection states are represented where enabled.
Yes.
Professional relationship lifecycles include expiry and revocation foundations.
No.
Access should remain learner-specific, purpose-scoped and subject to the permissions of each information domain.
Appropriate safeguarding information may be used where authorised, but the canonical safeguarding record and safeguarding decisions remain within the safeguarding workflow.
The current capability evidence does not establish general NHS interoperability or direct clinical-system exchange.
A bounded receiving-authority decision and responsibility-history foundation exists.
EdiWay records the human-led workflow; it does not determine statutory responsibility or compel another organisation to accept it.
No.
AI may assist with authorised drafts and summaries where enabled, but professional, statutory, safeguarding and clinical decisions remain human.
Coordinate relevant case, family and professional context around distinct EOTAS arrangements.
Connect appropriate provider and placement evidence to authorised casework.
Establish the learner-specific professional relationships that multi-agency casework depends on.
Bring authorised professional contributions into appropriate school-held EHC review evidence.
Keep safeguarding casework restricted and professionally governed.
Control professional relationships, scope, expiry, revocation and sharing decisions.
EdiWay is undergoing active development and live testing.
The current multi-agency foundation includes governed learner-specific professional relationships, family-visible relationship requests, case teams, tasks, evidence requests, meetings, case-scoped discussions, timeline events and professional-access history.
The current capability matrix also represents secure professional case notes, a shared learner timeline, consent-management context and professional access audit.
Newer implementation checkpoints include bounded initial case-meeting participant controls, a receiving-authority decision lifecycle and private learner-case evidence contributions. These are code-level foundations rather than a claim that all external casework scenarios are fully production-assured.
Meeting concurrency, external evidence handling, migrated relationships, cross-school and cross-organisation denial testing, notification delivery, retention, receiving-authority reconciliation and broader security assurance remain areas requiring runtime validation.
EdiWay should therefore be positioned as supporting governed learner-specific multi-agency casework - not as a universal statutory case-management system or a replacement for professional, safeguarding, clinical or legal authority.
