Separate Victim vs. Perpetrator roles in Chronicle Summary Statistics

Problem:
Currently, the Chronicle summary analytics on a student profile aggregate all entries of a specific category (e.g., "Behaviours of Concern" or negative behaviours) into a single total count. If a student has 10 recorded behaviours of concern, the summary simply displays "Total Behaviours of Concern: 10".
This view creates an inaccurate or misleading data representation at a glance. It fails to distinguish whether the student was the instigator/perpetrator or the victim. Staff must manually open and read through every single Chronicle entry to discern the student's actual involvement. For a student who is a victim in 8 out of 10 incidents, the high summary number can unfairly imply they are a high-frequency behavioral concern.
Proposed Solution / Feature Request:
Introduce a way to categorize or flag a student’s role (e.g., Perpetrator/Instigator vs. Victim/Target) when linking them to a Chronicle entry. This role distinction should then be reflected clearly in the high-level summary counts on the student's dashboard feed.
Ideally, the summary breakdown would display like this:
Total Behaviours of Concern: 10
Behaviours of Concern (Victim): 8
Behaviours of Concern (Perpetrator): 2
Value / Benefit to Schools:
This change would allow teachers, wellbeing staff, and leadership teams to instantly identify at a glance whether a child is instigating unsafe and socially inappropriate behaviors, or if they are repeatedly being targeted and require proactive wellbeing/protective interventions. It drastically reduces manual administrative auditing and improves data integrity for student welfare tracking.
