Mavis national reporting: user guide

Mavis national reporting was developed by an NHS England team working closely with SAIS staff to make it as effective as possible.

Using the national reporting service you can:

• upload and import vaccination records to be automatically shared with NHS England
• find children, view and edit their uploaded vaccination records

We want this guide to be as useful as possible. If you’d like to suggest an improvement or give feedback about the guide, contact us at england.mavis@nhs.net.

Safeguarding and data protection responsibilities

Mavis national reporting supports the uploading, editing and sharing of school-age vaccination records, but it does not replace school age immunisation service (SAIS) teams’ responsibilities for safeguarding, information governance or data protection.

You are responsible for ensuring that you follow your team’s policies and procedures when using Mavis national reporting. This includes recognising, recording and escalating any safeguarding concerns.

Where a safeguarding concern is identified, it should be managed through your usual safeguarding process and recorded in line with your SAIS team’s policy and processes.

You should use professional judgement when reviewing or editing vaccination records.

You are also responsible for ensuring that personal data is handled appropriately. This includes:

• checking that the appropriate information is going to the correct recipient before sharing records
• only accessing records where there is a legitimate reason to do so
• following local incident reporting processes if information is shared incorrectly or a potential data breach is identified

Mavis national reporting does not remove the need for your team’s policy and processes on oversight, escalation, documentation or professional accountability. It is a tool to use alongside your existing processes.
