Transforming Residential Care
Getting It Right For Every Child
By bringing care and education teams together in a single digital platform, Geco creates a shared understanding of each young person’s wellbeing, progress and outcomes.
Transforming the residential care sector
Traditional reporting systems often create duplication, fragmented information and unnecessary administrative pressure. Geco simplifies the process by providing a single platform where information can be recorded once and shared across teams.
A better outcome for young people
Geco helps ensure every young person’s experiences, progress and wellbeing are clearly recorded and understood. By organising observations, case notes and wellbeing indicators in real time, Geco helps teams identify changes in behaviour, wellbeing trends and opportunities for early intervention.
Tailored specifically to each school
Every residential school operates differently. Geco is designed to adapt to each organisation’s structure while maintaining alignment with the GIRFEC national framework. From individual care plans to wellbeing monitoring and leadership reporting, the platform supports the unique environment of residential education settings.
Easy to use features
Model build for specific sector
Each young person has a comprehensive digital profile bringing together wellbeing indicators, care records, education updates and key information in one secure place. This shared view allows care, education and therapeutic teams to understand the full picture of a young person’s journey. By organising information clearly, Geco helps professionals track progress, identify changes in wellbeing and ensure every young person’s story is understood across the organisation.
Recording observations should be quick, clear and meaningful. Geco allows professionals to capture case notes once and automatically organise them around the GIRFEC framework and the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators. This removes duplication across systems while ensuring important moments are never lost. Over time, these notes build a clear narrative of each young person’s experiences, supporting stronger communication between teams and more informed decision-making.
Understanding outcomes requires more than isolated reports. Geco Connect helps teams track progress over time by organising observations and assessments into structured wellbeing insight. Leaders and practitioners can see how support, interventions and daily interactions are influencing outcomes for each young person. This clearer view helps organisations evidence progress, respond to challenges earlier and ensure support remains focused on improving long-term wellbeing.
Residential care organisations must demonstrate transparency and accountability to local authorities and regulators. Geco simplifies this process by structuring information in a way that supports consistent reporting. Data captured throughout daily work can be organised into clear reports that strengthen communication with local authorities, support inspection readiness and provide leadership teams with confidence that outcomes are being monitored effectively.
Geco uses AI-enabled analysis to help organisations understand the information they are already recording. Instead of manually searching through case notes and reports, leadership teams can identify trends, wellbeing patterns and areas requiring attention more quickly.
By organising observations into meaningful insight, the platform helps professionals make informed decisions while maintaining the human judgement and expertise that remains at the heart of care.
Information about children and young people must be handled with the highest level of care. Geco is built with security at its core, ensuring sensitive information is stored and accessed safely. Role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication allow authorised professionals to collaborate while maintaining appropriate safeguards. By protecting data while enabling teams to work together, Geco supports organisations in managing information responsibly and securely.
Geco has been designed specifically for Scotland’s residential care and specialist education sector. Every feature supports the practical realities of multidisciplinary teams working together to support young people.
