Agents and Agencies

External organisations and individuals can be recorded in SIMS together with their contact details and can be linked to pupils on their Additional Information panel, Medical panel or SEN Record.

An agency is the term used in SIMS to identify an organisation that employs agents entered into SIMS. An agent is an individual who has some involvement in a pupil’s development or welfare.

Whilst it is not possible to delete agents or agencies, a single record for each should be identified and pupil records linked to these.
