Mentor Alerts & Support

Automated triggers alert community mentors when a child misses consecutive days, enabling rapid home interventions.

Early intervention can make the difference between a child staying in school or falling through the cracks. Street2School Guardian includes automated mentor alerts and support tools to ensure that when a child is at risk, someone is notified and action can be taken quickly.

Why Mentor Alerts Matter

In many communities:

Absences can go unnoticed for days or weeks
Schools may lack resources to follow up
Families may not receive timely support

This leads to:

Increased dropout risk
Missed opportunities for intervention
Children quietly slipping out of the system

How It Works

1. Continuous Monitoring

The system tracks daily attendance, attendance patterns over time, and performance trends (if enabled).

2. Automatic Triggers

Alerts are generated when predefined conditions are met, such as:

Missing 2 or more consecutive school days
Repeated irregular attendance
Declining attendance patterns
Combined risk signals (attendance + performance)

3. Instant Notifications

When a trigger occurs:

Assigned mentors are notified
Alerts appear on mentor dashboards
Organisation admins can also view flagged cases

4. Guided Follow-Up

Mentors can:

Review the student's history
Log interventions (calls, visits, meetings)
Schedule follow-ups
Track outcomes over time

Important Note

Mentor alerts are generated based on system data and are intended to guide human support. Final decisions and actions always rest with mentors and organisations.
