Wall of Love

"It has allowed our social workers to spend more time doing what they do best - supporting people, and means they spend less time at a keyboard."

"Beam Notes has been a game-changer, making it easier to capture the essence of conversations while staying present with the people I support."

"I’ve just stopped carrying the weight of documentation on top of everything else. I actually enjoy coming to work more now."

"These caseworkers can now show up more present and focused on the families in front of them. That is what they entered this field to do."

“Now the compliance is where it needs to be – evidence of visits, supervision write-ups, the voice of the child. It’s all there.”

"I've worked in social work for 20 years and this is the biggest advancement for us as a profession I've ever known."

“Notes has drastically cut my admin time down. I would be extremely unhappy if this wonderful gift was taken away. We love Notes!”

“Notes has been able to get the best out of me as an employee and allows me to be more productive.”

“They [neurodivergent social workers] can often feel overwhelmed by needing to make good records and the pressure to maintain eye contact. Notes allows them to focus on the child, knowing the recording is being made.”

"As a social worker with ADHD and Dyslexia, this has changed my life. It feels like the key to solving a lot of problems I have had since beginning my career in social work—taking a long time to record visits and feeling overwhelmed with information. Notes takes away that pressure."

“It has made me feel less stressed. I have more time to speak to clients and can actually log off on time for my own wellbeing.”

“The residents I met were very receptive to it and I was able to focus on them more rather than making sure I had written everything I needed to down.”

"The Beam training was perfectly pitched for all tech levels and really sparked that sense of interest and excitement."

"If you're a social worker, you understand the hours it takes to write up your notes, which can be overwhelming. Notes has cut the time frame for doing this in half."

“The bigger benefit for me has been more around the quality of the listening because I'm not typing all the time… It's made a massive difference to the quality of those interventions.”

"Jo, our custom-built Speak AI virtual assistant, has completely transformed how we manage inbound calls. If a team member is unavailable, the call is seamlessly directed to Jo. Clients can instantly reach Jo at any time of day, even overnight and at weekends, which reduces pressure on our staff."

"Notes is an absolute game changer. I am able to have more meaningful discussions, and focus on my meetings instead of typing my notes. Admin work has reduced to maybe 20%, and I couldn't be happier going out and listening to people with full attention and focus."

"Your work presents as very professional and structured. It improves my professional language used in report writing, case notes, other administrative tasks and for someone in perimenopause phase it's like my other brain."

"Notes makes such a difference to meetings. You can be more professional and not constantly note taking. I also love how much you can tweak the report after. I couldn't be without it now!"

"As a visually impaired member of staff, I'm always exploring innovative ways of working. Notes has proven to be a valuable tool in supporting my role, and I'm confident it will continue to improve and learn over time."

"As for someone like me, whose first language is not English, Notes has changed my life regarding admin. It's the best tool ever! It makes my life so much easier."

"It used to take me about an hour to write up meeting notes, but now it's about 45 minutes because I’m not having to sit there writing constantly. I’m neurodivergent, so it was something that I used to absolutely dread doing. My manager used to pull her hair out because my task minutes would be significantly late, but since using Notes, I've been on time with everything."

"Notes has been life-changing for me and the team. It's able to understand complex social work systems and the specific phrases and values that underpin our practice. It's amazing how it can take a conversation with a foster carer, where we discuss complex and often emotional situations, and translate this into a professional social work record."

"This is an amazing time saving tool for managers and social workers. I have been using it in supervision reflections, saving a huge amount of my time. Social workers are recording directly whilst using hands free in travel times and as a result, they are able to keep up with the admin each day."

"As a team, we have found Notes to be an invaluable tool. Its efficiency and time saving components are a necessity to continue to be able to manage our high caseloads. It allows us as a team to spend more time on case work and collaborating directly with families and professionals, ensuring a better experience for children, young people, and their families."

"I got into frontline work because I wanted to help people, and Notes has freed me up to do more face-to-face and less time taking notes and filling out paperwork. The real benefit is that when I’m out with a client I can be fully focused on them, knowing Notes is acting like my assistant, taking notes and tracking actions. It’s liberating."

"My head is not in a pad scribbling down, it's not typing away or trying to touch type. I'm able to do eye contact and observe their body language. I'm probably gaining a working day a week due to less admin. I used to work weekends and evenings consistently. I've got two little kids, it means I'm around more. And the bottom line is it will produce better outcomes for children that we work with."

"The care team used Notes for the first proper care plan last night. The meeting lasted 25 minutes instead of hours. From that meeting alone they have been able to complete the entire care plan. Meaning what was taking us potentially weeks before can pretty much be completed in a day or two and with one meeting rather than several. The team are very happy with the product."

"Notes improves our connection with foster carers. We're no longer typing on a laptop balanced on knees or scribbling in a book to capture what is said. We are now able to sit and communicate and give our full attention to foster carers, which is how it should be."

"Notes has taken the stress out of all meetings! I am dyslexic and struggle to note-take whilst listening, then find recall difficult, so having an auto-note-taker has been a real gift."
