What is Robin and how can it help me?

Find out how Robin can help you stay on top of website compliance, without the worry or time drain.

Written by Ellie Cheshire

Keeping every school website compliant across your trust is never a one-time task. It’s a significant responsibility, taking a lot of work and time across the year.

Websites need to keep pace with changing DfE requirements, stand up to Ofsted scrutiny and give parents and carers information that's accurate, up to date and easy to find.

This means someone in your school or trust is checking and reporting on multiple websites, policies and governor records, often by manually cross-referencing GIAS, reviewing documents and piecing together spreadsheets. It’s time-consuming work on an already stretched to-do list, and there’s always the risk a crucial requirement gets overlooked.

Robin helps 3,000 over schools and trusts stay on top of website compliance. It checks your websites against the DfE's website requirements, audits your policy compliance and compares your published governor details against GIAS and GovernorHub (if you have it). Robin flags missing, out-of-date, inconsistent and hard-to-find information, so you can fix issues fast.
​
Whether you are a single school or a Trust, our reporting means you get a complete picture of website compliance across your organisation, helping you monitor progress, improve consistency and eliminate weaknesses.

Features and benefits

  • Remove the need for manual website compliance checks:
    Robin checks all your websites against DfE school and trust website requirements and flags any information that’s missing, out of date, non-compliant or just hard to find, so you can see what needs attention and fix issues fast
    ​

  • Feel in control of website compliance all year round:
    Robin reviews your websites on a schedule you choose, and you can run extra checks whenever you need them. So whether Ofsted calls, the DfE changes requirements, or you have schools needing extra support, you know compliance is in hand at any point
    ​

  • Evidence your progress:
    Robin gives you clear, downloadable reports and a full review history, so you can show how compliance has improved across your trust and how you’ll get back to 100% when requirements change

Plus ...

  • No more policy-tracking spreadsheets:
    Robin shows which policies are published on your website, when they're due for review and what's missing - all in one view

  • See the full picture across your trust:
    Robin gives you overviews by school or policy category, so you can see instantly what needs attention and share it with the right people

  • Keep your governor details accurate and consistent, everywhere:
    Robin checks the governor information on your websites against GIAS and flags what's the same, missing and different. If you use GovernorHub, it does the same against your records here too!

  • Make sure your statutory policies are compliant:
    Robin's policy deep dives check the content of statutory policies on your website against DfE requirements, flagging anything that’s missing or needs attention, so you know they're not just published but cover what they should
