Halo DA Case Management System

Halo is the complete case management tool for Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse services in the UK. The software includes all the tools you need to manage everything from the first helpline call, through risk assessments to Marac meetings and casenotes.

Halo has been developed by domestic abuse agencies, police forces, independent domestic abuse advisors, rape crisis centres, sexual assault referral centres and housing agencies.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes Halo is designed to fit the operational reality of any human‑service environment.
    Domestic Abuse, Drug & Alcohol, Young People’s Services, Family Support, Housing, Criminal Justice, Early Help, Mental Health - Halo already supports them all. [refine order]

    Because the system is fully configurable, it adapts to your workflows, terminology, assessments, and reporting requirements rather than forcing you into a rigid template.
    If your service needs:
    structured case management
    clear risk visibility
    multi‑team or multi‑site working
    consistent processes
    visible audit trails

    …then Halo is a good fit.

  • Link to the 3 packages section
    Costs depend on three things:

    The size of your service (number of users)

    The modules you need (case management, reporting, HaloXT, SMS, etc.)

    Any bespoke configuration required

    Halo is priced transparently and scales with your organisation.

  • We combine a thoughtful, human-centred approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it that sets us apart.

  • Completely.
    Halo is built on a fully configurable framework:

    Forms

    Workflows

    Assessments

    Dashboards

    Risk tools

    Multi‑agency rules

    Everything can be shaped to match how your service actually works.
    This is why Halo fits so many different sectors - the system bends to your practice, not the other way around.

  • Most implementations take a few weeks, not months.

    Because Halo has been deployed across services for over 20 years, the onboarding process is streamlined:

    configuration workshops

    form and workflow setup

    data migration (if needed)

    user testing

    training

    go‑live support

    Smaller services can go live quickly.
    Larger, multi‑team or multi‑agency setups naturally take longer - but the process is structured, predictable, and fully supported.

  • Yes.
    Halo runs in any modern browser, no software to install, no updates to manage.

    It works on:

    laptops

    tablets

    Workers can record notes, complete forms, and check caseloads wherever they are.
    This is especially valuable for outreach teams, home‑visiting staff, and multi‑site services.

  • Halo provides:

    Ongoing support via the in-system Crisp messaging tool
    Halo ticket system
    Halo support, Monday - Friday, 9-5.30 (excluding bank holidays)
    Halo workshop training, train the trainer

    4 hours of config hours included monthly.

    And because Halo is used across the UK, the support team understands the operational context of your service.

  • Yes this is one of Halo’s strengths.

    Halo supports:
    Multi service sites (for example, Drug & Alcohol, Domestic Abuse and ASB) so workers can work collaboratively where a client may be seen by different services at one time ensuring data is not lost and the client doesn't need to continuallyy repeat information.

    Within these services Halo supports multiple agencies, teams and episode types to follow the services process/es.

    Halo is group based so each user can have access to different modules dependent on the groups attached to their profile, this is also done at a team level as 1 worker can have profiles for many teams.

    As a sharing aware system, sharing is custom per team and a newly created episode within one team can be shared to others by default or this can be done manually when required.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

  • Yes.
    Halo is built with granular, real‑world data‑sharing controls:

    team‑based visibility

    role‑based permissions

    case‑by‑case access

    restricted notes

    safeguarding‑level controls

    multi‑agency opt‑in rules

    audit trails for every view, edit, and share

    This means information is shared only when it should be, and never when it shouldn’t.

  • Halo includes a full reporting suite:

    real‑time dashboards

    operational reports

    performance indicators

    outcomes reporting

    risk reporting

    custom report builder

    export options

    automated scheduled reports

    Because all data is structured and consistent, reporting is accurate, fast, and audit‑ready.

  • Halo is hosted in a UK‑based Tier 3 data centre, fully compliant with:

    UK GDPR

    ISO27001

    NHS DSP Toolkit

    The 14 Cloud Security Principles

    Data never leaves the UK.
    Backups, encryption, and security monitoring are all standard.
