The duty to act – documented while you fulfil it
Reports, investigations and action plans under chapter 12 of the Norwegian Education Act – in one place, with deadlines and full traceability.
Features
What you get
A low threshold for reporting
Staff register a report or observation in minutes – the head teacher is notified automatically with a timestamp.
Investigation with deadlines
Cases follow the legal process – reported, under investigation, measures active – with status and evaluation deadline visible in the case list.
The action plan as a structure
Problem description, measures with owner and date, and time of evaluation – the plan is generated as a document, and the system sends reminders when an evaluation is due.
A separate § 12-5 track
Cases where staff violate pupils follow a separate flow with stricter notification and restricted access.
Encrypted and traceable
Free text is encrypted and all reading and writing is logged – the sector’s most sensitive data is treated accordingly.
Value for the school owner
What the municipality gets
Built around chapter 12 of the Education Act (formerly 9A): the duty to act, with a written action plan and a duty to document. This is not a register of pupils – it is documentation that the school did what it should, when it should.
Synargus is used by several Norwegian municipalities, including Halden, Sarpsborg and Fredrikstad.
- Confidence that the duty to act is complied with and documented at every school – not in Word templates and e-mail
- Complete, chronological documentation if a case is reported to the County Governor
- Non-identifying key figures – active cases, time to action plan, overdue evaluations – for internal control
- The stricter duty under § 12-5 is handled with its own notification flow
When a pupil does not feel safe, every day counts – put the duty to act into a system.
