A support playbook helps staff distinguish an ordinary question, a record correction and an issue that needs the provider. Keep it short enough to use during a busy day.
A practical starting point
A tutor sends every problem to a colleague’s personal chat, while the administrator has no visibility of repeated issues. A shared route makes support more reliable.
Turn the idea into a working routine
- List common questions and the authorised first contact for each workflow.
- Record provider escalation details and the non-sensitive information needed to describe a problem.
- Review recurring requests and improve the relevant instruction or training example.
Measure what matters
Track repeated issues and requests that move between people without an owner.
Copying passwords or unnecessary learner details into a support message can create avoidable exposure.
What should the team agree before putting this into practice?
Agree what information may be shared with support and how urgent operational issues are escalated.
MAKE IT PRACTICAL
Your planning checklist
Use this checklist during a team discussion. It tracks your planning progress, not a score of your institution’s quality. Selections stay in this page and are not submitted.
A support process should make the next responsible person easy to find.
