go-liberty is a cloud based secure software system for modern boarding schools and families to use in managing & recording boarders movements.
No the same software serves a large school that serves a smaller school.
We believe so. Staff, students & dormitories are all able to accommodate various responsibilities, locations & configurations to suit your operations. If you are struggling to do the initial setup, please make contact with us, we should be able to advise you.
Parents approve their child’s leave whilst it is up to Head of Boarding to decide how much of the community communication goes to parents.
MS Windows, Android and IOS devices are all supported. As with all technology – outdated hardware or operating systems may have reduced functionality.
Absolutely not! If you have spent a little time experimenting with “Liberty Boarding” our real live sample Boarding School, then you understand the simplicity of the system. It has been designed such that a senior boarding manager could do it alone or with support from an IT department staffer. Remember your IT department will need to supply you with files of your boarding students to upload. Following the manual, you should be operational the same day you begin setup. This does not require a frustrating setup procedure followed by ongoing support requests.
Unfortunately we are only cloud based. This means we make use of clouds to host and process data – very similar to a bank or atm meaning transactions can be made away from the main buildings. This way parents, staff and students can engage with the system even if they are off campus.
No. We have concerns with such systems because it makes our data security dependant on multiple interface points with other systems. Once operational there is not much need to be tethered to other systems. If a Boarder leaves the school or a new boarder arrives you simply archive the student or sign them on with their details. Any designated staff on school side – admin, medical or otherwise can still have curated access to the system.
Yes. go-liberty has a broadcast facility whereby everyone on the system or selected groups, can be messaged. This can be designated as emergency or general messaging.
Two Factor Authentication is a minimum standard in dealing with private data whilst Single Sign On is not relevant since we do not interface with other school systems. Staff & students can however apply identical logon credentials to those they already use – if they wish, which can save them having to remember separate logon credentials.
go-liberty has been in design for many years so lots of thought has gone into the system. go-liberty is new on the market and tried to consider all the essential features for all boarding schools. Any requests can be considered and customer service is priority just as is offering a full house of functionality. On the down side – we do not have various packages and a variety of add on features that you may want to purchase. Subscribers get access to every feature available but we also think you will want to use all the features on offer. We are experimenting with various forms of biometrics to speed up your processes. When they become available, they may have to be electives because of public opinion around biometrics and of course legislation. We strongly encourage input and suggestions from our clients, this guides our direction and priorities.
Data Regions across the globe like GDPR who legislate & monitor standards and operations for Europe and CCPA who are currently the gold standard for USA, each have rigid expectations and oversight within their regions. go-liberty strives to surpass the most rigid of these standards and simultaneously aggregate the latest data hosting innovations to facilitate a secure platform.
Every client has the right to be forgotten. Meaning we adhere to strict data erasure practices and your data will be deleted according to our terms and conditions policy. Should you request it – your accumulated data will be aggregated and provided to you prior to erasure.
The system has been designed by Jock Walker-Campbell who is a long standing Boarding professional with experience in various top tier boarding schools and in conjunction with current professionals in the industry. go-liberty listens to testers & customer requests to add features and functionality to improve in the interest of all concerned. If you submit a request for functionality that is currently not available – this will be considered and were practical, it will be implemented. Also you will hear back from us within days. There is no way that requests go unanswered. Just like your school parents expect to hear back from you – so you can expect to hear back from us.
