Built for the way settings actually work
Everything in one place
Staff records, DBS, safeguarding, training and policies live together — not across spreadsheets, folders and inboxes.
Nothing slips through
Every DBS, training and check date is watched and surfaced before it lapses, so a gap is caught in advance, not on inspection day.
Ready for inspection
A complete, current evidence picture is a click away, so an Ofsted inspection is a confirmation rather than a scramble.
Questions, answered
Is Complys a nursery or school management system?
No. Complys is the compliance and safeguarding side — staff DBS, training, policies, premises checks and incidents. It sits alongside whatever you use for registers and parent communication, and keeps the evidence Ofsted or your local authority will ask for in order.
How does it help with Ofsted?
It keeps DBS, safeguarding and training current with alerts, stores your policies in one place, and lets you record incidents and premises checks — so you can produce a complete evidence picture in minutes.
Does it handle safeguarding records?
Yes. Safeguarding training, single central record information and related documents are tracked with expiry alerts.
Can it manage multiple settings?
Yes. Manage one setting or several, each visible at a glance with a combined view for a group or trust.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — a 90-day free trial with no card required, so you can load your own staff and records and judge it on your own setting.
