Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | Bromcom safeguarding |
|---|---|---|
| Logging a concern | Any adult in school, in a couple of minutes. "Help me write this" turns rough notes into a clearer draft to use or dismiss, and keeps the child's words in quotation marks exactly as written. Pupils, parents and anyone else can report through the school's link or QR code, named or anonymously. | Concerns recorded inside the MIS. |
| The chronology | Every concern, action, contact, meeting and document, in order. A family timeline puts brothers' and sisters' chronologies side by side. | Chronologies and profiles for individuals. |
| Body maps | Numbered markers on a body map. Children's injuries are never photographed. | Staff mark up a picture of the body. |
| Alerts | In-app and email, or a daily summary at 07:00, set for each role along with which concerns alert it. Emails never say which pupil or what happened, and an urgent concern nobody has opened after 2 hours is flagged. Coming soon: text messages. | By SMS, email or notification in the system. |
| Who can see what | 7 starting roles you can rename, add or delete, with 46 permissions. Each role can be kept out of restricted categories, or limited to its own forms, years or houses. | Granular, role-based permissions. |
| Audit trail | Every view, change, export, print and sign-in, searchable in Admin. Entries are never changed or deleted. Anyone opening 20 or more records in 10 minutes alerts admins, and exports or prints between 20:00 and 06:00 are flagged. | A detailed log of changes made by users. |
| MIS | Works with Bromcom and 12 other MIS, so you can change MIS without changing safeguarding system. Behaviour, detentions and suspensions sync from Bromcom four times a school day and overnight. | Part of the Bromcom MIS. |
| AI | Writing help, suggested next steps, category suggestions and answers from your own policies. It runs on a model your school controls, inside Pupil Protect or on your own server, so pupil information never goes to an outside AI service. Off until your school switches it on, and only for roles you allow. A person checks everything. | Not stated publicly. |
| Trust reporting | Insight, counts only, included for trusts. | Reports for senior leaders, trusts and governors. |
| Price | Published on our pricing page. One price a year per school, based on roll, excluding VAT. | Part of the MIS, with "no third-party package fees". Bromcom's G-Cloud 15 price list doesn't say which package includes safeguarding. |
“Not stated publicly” means we couldn’t find it on Bromcom safeguarding’s website. It may still be available, so ask them. If anything here is wrong or out of date, email sales@pupilprotect.co.uk and we’ll correct it.
When Bromcom safeguarding may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose Bromcom safeguarding.
- You use Bromcom as your MIS and want safeguarding in the same system, with one supplier and one login.
- You'd rather not pay for a separate safeguarding product.
Moving from Bromcom safeguarding
We bring your records across and your DSL checks them before anything goes live.
We'll keep Bromcom as our MIS. Does that work?
Yes. Pupils, staff and contacts sync from Bromcom, so records are matched to the right pupil.
Can we bring our safeguarding records out of Bromcom?
Coming soon: importing records from other systems, including Bromcom. Until then, keep Bromcom's safeguarding module read-only for past records. Records already in Pupil Protect at another school transfer across today.
Does the price of our MIS go down?
Ask Bromcom. Its published price list doesn't show safeguarding as a separate line.
