Public protection, handled with the care it demands.
Safeguarding work concerns some of the most sensitive information a force holds, about vulnerable people and about those who must be managed in the community. Trace Vantage is designed to support this work within strict controls on access, handling and retention.
Sensitive by nature, and unforgiving of error.
Vulnerable-persons context and managed-offender information must be available to the right people at the right moment, and to no one else. The duty is both to act on what is known and to hold that knowledge proportionately, for no longer than is justified.
Fragmented awareness
Risk and safeguarding context can sit across teams and systems, so the full picture is hard to hold.
Access must be proportionate
Highly sensitive records call for tight, role-based access and a clear record of who saw what, and why.
Retention is a duty
Information should be held only as long as there is a lawful basis, then handled according to policy.
A considered picture, held under control.
The platform supports safeguarding and offender-management work within the same governed lifecycle, with handling and retention controls applied from the outset rather than added afterwards.
Bring context together
Relevant safeguarding and vulnerable-persons context assembled into one considered view for those authorised to see it. Investigations ›
Managed registries
Registered offender and managed-nominal records maintained within the case environment, subject to force policy and jurisdiction.
Proportionate access
Role-based access and audit mean sensitive records are seen by those authorised, with each access recorded. Security & assurance ›
Analysis where it helps
Entity and network context available where it supports safeguarding, always for human assessment rather than automated decision. Analysis ›
Evidence when needed
Where safeguarding work leads to proceedings, material carries provenance through to evidence and disclosure. Evidence ›
Named safeguarding workflows, shipped and governed. Each supports a practitioner's judgement within controlled access and retention; none decides an outcome on its own.
Domestic-abuse risk
Structured DASH risk assessment and MARAC referral handling, so a case is scored and escalated on a consistent basis, with professional judgement retained throughout.
Vulnerable persons & watchlist
A vulnerable-persons register alongside a VRN watchlist built from footage the force holds, to help locate and safeguard those at risk under proportionate access.
Fraud triage
Triage of reported fraud against vulnerable victims, prioritising cases by risk so limited safeguarding capacity reaches those who need it first.
Missing persons & SAR
Missing-person and safe-and-well handling, holding the relevant context in one considered view for authorised officers during a live enquiry.
Licensed premises
Management of licensed-premises intelligence and conditions, supporting neighbourhood safeguarding and partnership decisions on a recorded footing.
Managed persons & RSO register
A registered-offender and managed-nominal register with kiosk self-service check-in, capturing a subject's own attendance under force policy while a human retains the decision.
Controls that match the sensitivity of the data.
Sovereign holdings
Safeguarding and offender-management data stays within the force environment, on-premises or air-gapped where required.
Controlled retention
Retention is applied by policy, so records are held only as long as there is a lawful basis, subject to force policy and jurisdiction.
Human-authorised AI
AI is used only where authorised and appropriate, human-gated and recorded, never as the decision-maker. Governed AI ›
Accountable access
Every access to sensitive material is recorded, so handling can be reviewed and stood behind.
Restraint is part of the capability.
In public protection, holding information proportionately matters as much as acting on it. The platform is designed to support both duties, keeping sensitive data controlled while making it available to those who need it.
What good looks like.
A considered picture
Designed to support authorised staff in holding relevant safeguarding context in one place, for human judgement.
Proportionate handling
Role-based access, accountable review and controlled retention applied to the most sensitive records.
Ready if it proceeds
Where matters progress to proceedings, provenance carries to evidence and disclosure, subject to force policy.
