PILOT-READY INNOVATION

SAFECHAIN™ National Pilot Programme

Author: Samantha Avril-Andreassen
Institution: SAFECHAIN™ Policy & Innovation Initiative
Version: 1.0 — October 2026

Pilot Objective

The SAFECHAIN™ Pilot Programme proposes a controlled trial of safeguarding coordination infrastructure within a defined jurisdiction.

The objective is to evaluate whether structured institutional verification and safeguarding signals improve:

• identification of abuse patterns
• financial transparency in proceedings
• coordination between safeguarding institutions.

Pilot Structure

The proposed pilot would include a limited number of participating institutions.

Example participants:

• one Family Court jurisdiction
• one police safeguarding unit
• one NHS Trust
• one local authority safeguarding department
• one housing authority.

Technology Deployment

Each institution would operate a SAFECHAIN™ Connector.

The connector enables institutions to transmit and receive safeguarding event signals without altering internal systems.

Evaluation Metrics

The pilot programme would measure:

• time required to identify safeguarding indicators
• number of cross-institution safeguarding signals
• reduction in duplicated reporting by individuals
• procedural efficiency within proceedings.

Pilot Timeline

Total duration: 12 months

Phase 1 – System deployment (3 months)
Phase 2 – Operational testing (6 months)
Phase 3 – Evaluation and reporting (3 months)

Expected Outcomes

If successful, the pilot programme may demonstrate:

• improved institutional coordination
• earlier identification of safeguarding patterns
• improved financial disclosure transparency
• enhanced procedural fairness.

The findings would inform future policy discussions regarding broader adoption.
