Statutory duties are changing and scrutiny is rising. ORVIA helps schools and academies see the real gaps in safeguarding, culture and safety planning — and get ready before an inspection, not after.
We work with primary, secondary and special schools and academies. We're independent, so we can tell you what an inspection might find while you still have time to act. Our reviews cover safeguarding culture, DSL and leadership readiness, and school safety and active-threat planning — grounded in current statutory guidance. Five steps, from a quick safety snapshot to termly independent assurance.
Grounded in current statutory guidance, built for governors, leaders and DSLs.
A 30-minute Microsoft Teams call. Talk through safeguarding pressure, culture concerns or inspection readiness. No cost, no obligation.
Independent reality review of your safeguarding culture and arrangements against current statutory guidance. Written summary of what your school looks like from outside, and where to focus first.
Ongoing use for DSLs and senior leadership. Rehearse how you'd explain safeguarding decisions to inspectors, families or a panel — and find the weak points first.
Deeper structured review of safeguarding practice, single central record, policies and culture — set out clearly, with findings you can act on and evidence for governors.
The fullest ORVIA review — evidence, culture, governance and safeguarding data, with an assurance report and honest challenge you can put in front of the board.
Lens reviews are scoped with you before we start — the “from” figure is the entry point. We confirm scope and total in writing before any work begins.
Payments processed securely by Stripe. Receipts emailed automatically.
The free consultation is a 30-minute Microsoft Teams call. With your agreement we record and transcribe it, so nothing vital gets missed.

Not opinions. Not assumptions. Evidence — sourced, structured, and defensible.
