Prepare student comments for safer internal sharing

Review, redact, and curate student comments before verbatim evidence is shared beyond the analysis team.

Student Voice Analytics supports review and redaction workflows for student comments. Teams can prepare verbatim extracts for reports while reducing the risk of sharing sensitive or identifying detail.

Who this is for

Survey teams, governance leads, report authors, and teams sharing verbatim evidence.

Why it matters

Verbatim comments are powerful evidence, but they can include personal details, sensitive incidents, or wording that needs context. Teams need a controlled process before comments appear in wider reports.

What teams get

Keep useful evidence without unnecessary exposure

Redaction helps teams share the insight in a comment while removing details that should not travel widely.

Support reviewer confidence

A review step gives staff a chance to check tone, sensitivity, and context before a comment is used.

Make verbatim evidence more usable

Curated extracts are easier for committees and local teams to read, discuss, and connect to action.

FAQs

Does redaction remove the need for human review?

No. Redaction workflows support review; they do not replace institutional judgement about what should be shared.

Can comments be excluded from evidence packs?

Yes. Comments can be withheld if they are too sensitive, identifying, or context-dependent for the intended audience.

Can redaction be used with Excel reports?

Yes. Approved or redacted comments can be included in workbooks and extracts used by local teams.
