Capture voice. Route responsibility. Return change.
This system treats every promised response as an obligation owed by the organisation. A loop closes only when a decision or action has been returned to the learner and they have had a chance to review it.
Participation debt
Outstanding promises, overdue decisions and unreturned feedback belong to adults and systems — never to the pupil.
Priority queue
Oldest and most urgent adult obligations appear first.
Where every voice currently sits
Stages describe the organisational workflow, not a pupil score.
Latest loops
Live tokenism signals
These are process warnings, not accusations or automated judgements.
Your words, your way.
Use an alias, take time, choose another communication route, or stop without saving. Speaking is never the only route.
What would make this easier?
Pick as many as help. “Not now” is a valid choice.
How do you want to share?
Choose a route. Adults should record exact words separately from their interpretation.
Make the audience and promise explicit.
Keep exact pupil words separate from adult interpretation. Define what can change, appoint an owner, set a return date and name an escalation route.
Voice fidelity twin
The exact voice stays visible. Adult meaning-making is separately labelled and can never replace it.
Decision envelope
State the genuine scope before asking a pupil to invest trust in the process.
Audience routing contract
One accountable owner, one escalation role, one response date and one return channel.
Show how the view was weighed.
The pupil does not have to get their first choice. The decision-maker must show that the view was genuinely considered, explain constraints and create a Plan B or trial where appropriate.
Consideration record
Select the factors actually considered. These are transparent notes, not a numerical decision score.
Outcome
Use a trial when uncertainty is genuine and a reversible test is proportionate.
Full. Friendly. Fast. Followed-up.
Returning a polished report is not the same as telling a pupil what happened to their own view. This workspace creates specific feedback and a real chance to reopen the loop.
Build the return message
Specific to this pupil and this view. Avoid generic “student voice matters” statements.
Pupil review
How listened-to they felt is recorded separately from whether they liked the outcome.
Audit the system, not the child.
The audit checks whether adults created Space, supported Voice, named an Audience and returned Influence. It also checks transparency, voluntariness, inclusion, safety and accountability.
Lundy + participation requirements
“Unknown” is retained where the browser record cannot prove a requirement.
Tokenism & delay signals
Communication routes used
Uneven use is a prompt to investigate access — not proof of inequity.
Who carries the obligations?
Over-concentration can reveal a routing bottleneck.

Make the workflow fit your setting.
Configure accountability routes, accessibility and retention. These settings do not replace organisational policy, lawful-basis decisions, DPIAs or approved safeguarding systems.
