Why FullAccount

The process is hard to get right

Stand-downs and suspensions run on strict statutory steps and tight deadlines. When one of these decisions comes unstuck, it is usually not because the judgement was wrong, but because a step was missed or the reasoning was never written down. FullAccount guides you through each step and keeps track of the statutory clock, so nothing slips.

Every party's account goes in the record

FullAccount is built on a simple principle: every party's account belongs in the record. The family's representations must be entered in their own words, and the pack will not generate without them.

This record was prepared using FullAccount, which requires the board to record what your family said in your own words.

Every option is weighed, and the reasons recorded

A board must genuinely consider each option open to it, including taking no action. FullAccount prompts every option and records the factors weighed and the reasons for the decision, so the board can show it reached a considered decision, whatever that decision turns out to be.

The record is made as it happens

You answer the questions while the incident is still unfolding, so the factors, options and reasons are documented at the time, not reconstructed months later when someone asks how the decision was reached.

The whole pack, generated for you

Instead of assembling a Word folder by hand, FullAccount produces the full set of documents the process requires:

• Principal's report to the board
• Notice of meeting to the family / whānau
• Parent information and rights explainer
• Board decision record, including reasons
• Conditions register
• The ongoing written report to each subsequent board meeting on whether conditions are being met
