Key Features of BEAMS

BEAMS (Behaviour Engagement and Monitoring System) is designed to streamline the tracking and management of student behaviour across Australian schools. Developed in consultation with educators, it delivers a modern, data-driven solution for wellbeing teams and classroom teachers alike.

Core Features

• Simple Behaviour Referrals:
  Staff can quickly log incidents using an intuitive, mobile-friendly interface from any device.
  BEAMS supports voice-to-text input on mobile devices, allowing staff to dictate incident details on the go. Combined with smart defaults and streamlined fields, a full behaviour referral can be completed in under 60 seconds — no typing required. Ideal for classroom, playground, or on-duty scenarios where speed and accuracy matter.
• Automated Alerts at Behaviour Thresholds:
  BEAMS automatically sends an instant email alert when a student receives every third referral (e.g., 3, 6, 9...), allowing early intervention before patterns escalate.
• Real-Time Dashboards:
  Visual insights on behaviour trends, student hotspots, referral frequency, and locations—updated live.
• Linked to Class and Campus Data:
  Referrals are connected to enrolled classes and staff roles to ensure incidents are visible only to the right people.
• Mobile-First Design:
  BEAMS works seamlessly on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones.
• Multi-Level Access:
  Role-based permissions allow different access for classroom teachers, year level coordinators, principals and administrators.
• Fully Maintainable Reference Data:
  BEAMS gives schools complete control over key reference data such as behaviour types, incident locations, response strategies, and more. Administrators can easily add, update, or deactivate values to align with school-specific language, policies, and frameworks — ensuring consistency, flexibility, and ongoing relevance without needing developer support.
• Data Security & Privacy:
  Hosted on Microsoft Azure and compliant with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), all data is encrypted and protected by secure authentication via Google or Apple Sign-In.

BEAMS helps schools proactively manage student behaviour, promote consistency across staff, and ensure the right people are informed when it matters most.
