The brief:
The charity was using spreadsheets to manage their operations but needed a solution that was more data compliant, especially since they worked extensively with children. Ensuring data protection and compliance was a top priority. Additionally, they sought a more efficient way to handle DBS checks for volunteers. This is a common challenge we address in our business systems services. 🛡️
The charity needed a platform that could streamline their processes, enhance data security, and provide a seamless experience for both their team and volunteers. They envisioned a system that could handle everything from volunteer registration to compliance checks, all in one place. This aligns with our experience working with non-profit organisations to solve their unique challenges.
With these goals in mind, they approached us to develop a custom solution that would not only meet their current needs but also scale with their future growth. Our article on what's possible with bespoke software explores these possibilities further. 🚀
The challenges:
DBS checks are inherently complicated and represent a significant area of compliance risk. The charity needed a system that could manage these checks efficiently while ensuring full compliance with data protection regulations. This highlights the importance of avoiding off-the-shelf solutions that aren't tailored to specific compliance needs. 📋
Additionally, the charity required a solution that could automate the collection of references for volunteers working with children, further enhancing their compliance and operational efficiency.
The challenge was to create a system that not only addressed these compliance needs but also integrated seamlessly with their existing processes. 🏗️
