CiviCRM Powers Ireland’s School Completion Programme

The School Completion Programme (SCP) is a targeted programme of support for primary and post primary children and young people who have been identified as potentially at risk of early
school leaving or who are out of school and have not successfully transferred to an alternative learning site (i.e. Youthreach, Community Training Centre etc.) or employment in Ireland. There are 122 SCP projects covering 467 primary and 222 post-primary schools .

CiviCooP set up the configuration for the Student Tool with Drupal and CiviCRM based on input from the initial two participating SCPs. We now have 8 SCP’s taking part.
For the participating SCPs, CiviCRM is the central software in which everything relating to pupils/clients of the SCP is recorded and from which reports are generated. Reports are sent to both legal guardians / parents and the responsible authority.

CiviCase, the component that is used mostly, provides exactly the functionality that supports most of the functional requirements that each project worker has when working with pupils/students.
Some of the latest joining projects have requested for additional functionality, that is being developed. When finished, that will also be made available to the original projects.
