for wellbeing leaders and coordinators
Your care team shouldn’t decide on half the picture.
You depend on educators to notice what you can’t see yourself. Descant gets what they notice into the case file — in two minutes, attributed, on the right student’s record.
Your caseload, in one place
- Referrals, notes and plans on one record
- Referrals marked routine or urgent
- Educator observations through the educator portal
the problem
The wellbeing coordinator at an Australian school, who depends on educators and stakeholders to notice what they cannot see themselves, is struggling to get those observations out of corridors, emails and phone calls and into the case file, leading to a care team deciding on half the picture, and a review later finding that everyone had noticed.
A week with Descant
- Monday
A teacher raises a referral from the educator portal, marked urgent, with the areas of concern.
- Tuesday
You triage it and allocate it — or waitlist it, with the reason on record.
- Wednesday
You ask two educators what they have seen. By the afternoon, both have added their observations in the educator portal, on the student’s record.
- Thursday
The care team meets with what everyone noticed in front of them — not half of it.
- Friday
The notes that matter are already there for review, reporting or NCCD.
One record per student
Referrals, notes, plans and educator observations in one place — support episodes kept as a history, never overwritten.
The educator portal
Any staff member signs in and adds observations or concerns about any student. They see only their own notes and when the support team has reviewed them, never the case. What they see.
Assurance for leadership
A briefing on demand, waiting times and workload for your principal, with de-identified downloads. Leadership reporting.

Questions support leaders ask
Something we haven't answered? Ask us and a person from the team will reply.
Ask a questionDo all our staff need accounts?
Yes: every staff member signs in. Your support team works the cases; everyone else uses the educator portal to add observations or concerns about any student. Staff sign in like the rest of the school team: a password (plus two-step verification if the school requires it), or Google/Microsoft. They see only their own notes and when the support team has reviewed them, never the case.
How is this different from our wellbeing tracker?
Most trackers rely on someone typing the note in. Descant’s difference is getting observations from the educators who see the student — spoken in two minutes, checked by them, attributed and dated on the record.
Can our principal see the caseload?
Yes. The Reports page gives leaders a briefing on how the service is running — referrals, waiting times, caseloads and tiers — without case notes, and its downloads leave out student names. Who can open it follows each person’s role.
Does the AI make decisions about students?
No. It drafts notes for a person to check. Triage, allocation and every decision stay with your team.
