Bodelschwingh-Schule: First use of Inscribe at a municipal school in Krefeld, Germany

The Bodelschwingh School in Krefeld uses the digital attendance list for everyone's safety!

As a special school with a focus on “mental development”, the Bodelschwingh School is a place for special people. The school management uses the web-based solution Inscribe to protect these special people during this special time. The digital attendance register is used to register students as well as teachers and visitors when they enter the school buildings and to support the health department in case of infection.

The start of school after the summer holidays in NRW had some challenges for everyone. In order to protect pupils as best as possible from the risk of infection, hygiene concepts had to be developed and preventive measures taken. Bodelschwingh School is keeping up with the times and is the first municipal school to use the free solution as a digital attendance list for its school sites.

Digital attendance list instead of registration with pen & paper

Unlike one-off events or the occasional visit to a restaurant, visitors and employees of German schools have to register with their data every day. That’s time-consuming and a pain in the neck. Therefore, Bodelschwingh School uses the digital solution Inscribe to provide a quick and easy way for everyone present to sign up to the contact tracing lists required by the Health Department.

The QR codes generated specifically for the school locations are hanging in the entrance areas of the school buildings. The QR code can be easily scanned using the camera function of common smartphones, whereupon a form for data registration opens in the mobile phone browser. Collected on the digital attendance register are the common personal data required by the health department for contact tracing. When leaving the school grounds, you can log out using this form. Digital registration captures a timestamp that allows an accurate time window for potential contagion.

"We use Inscribe to support parents, guardians, institutions and visitors to our school in their daily lives in the best possible way. This particular time is hard enough, we don't need another demanding challenge, we need a simple solution that everyone can understand!"

– Alexander Ebert, headmaster of the Bodelschwingh School.

In addition, the digital attendance list eliminates the time-consuming local recording, organisation and storage of personal data. The decentrally stored data is recorded in accordance with applicable data protection law and stored in a DSGVO-compliant manner. Only the data protection officer of the Bodelschwingh School has access to the digital lists. In the event of a request from the health department, the lists of the period in question can simply be generated and made available with one click. After expiry of the legally prescribed period, the data is automatically deleted.
