Pupil Protect vs Every HR
Every HR is HR software for schools from IRIS, with the single central record built in. Staff in Pupil Protect is narrower: it covers the checks, training and concerns about adults that keep pupils safe, and works from the same records as your DSL team.
Which suits you depends mostly on whether you want a full HR system or a safeguarding one.

Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | Every HR |
|---|---|---|
| Single central record | Kept as you go, with the date of every check and who did it. Changing a completed check needs a reason. Missing checks and DBS renewals due are shown above the record, with a filter for issues only. | Kept up to date automatically, flagging missing or expiring checks. |
| Checks by role | The checks that apply to each role, for staff, supply, volunteers, governors and contractors. Section 128 for governors and management roles, and DBS renewals flagged 60 days ahead. | Standard DfE checklists and custom checks. |
| Safer recruitment | A checklist for each starter showing what's missing, awaited and done, and a list of starters who can't start until clear. Coming soon: a risk assessment the head records if someone starts before every check is back. | An end-to-end recruitment process. |
| Training | Child protection policy, KCSIE, code of conduct and the annual update each year, and Prevent and DSL training every 2 years, tracked for each person. One click emails everyone what they still need, and reading Keeping children safe in education is recorded. | KCSIE training tracking, and a library of over 150 CPD-accredited e-learning courses. |
| Concerns about adults | Low-level concerns, self-reports and allegations, kept apart from pupil records. Only roles you allow, by default the head and DSL, can open them, and a concern about the head goes to the DSL. Outcomes use the KCSIE definitions. | Case management is listed. Allegations and low-level concerns aren't described specifically. |
| Wider HR | Staff covers safeguarding checks, training and concerns about adults. | Absence, performance, training and the workforce census, with links to IRIS payroll. |
| Reports for governors | Staff reports on single central record compliance, concerns about adults, training, and recruitment and starters, including the average time to clear checks. Coming soon: a counts-only version shared with governors for a set period. | Built-in reports in Word or Excel. |
| MIS | Staff accounts come from your MIS. Arbor, Bromcom, SIMS, iSAMS and nine more are supported. | Through Wonde. No MIS is named. |
| Where data is kept | UK data centres. | A UK data centre. |
| Certification | None yet. We're working towards certification. | Cyber Essentials. |
| Price | Published on our pricing page, per school per year, excluding VAT. One price includes Staff and every other Pupil Protect product. | Not published on its website. Its G-Cloud 14 listing shows £1,526 a licence a year, with education pricing available. |
| Leaving | Print any pupil's chronology or concern, and download pupils, cases and reports as CSV, at any time at no extra cost. Coming soon: one export of every record and document. | Export through the reports at any time. Extracts at the end of a contract on request, and "additional data may be charged at a fair rate". |

When Every HR may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose Every HR.
- You want one system for all of HR, including absence, performance and payroll, not just safeguarding checks.
- You already use other IRIS products and want one supplier.
- You want a large e-learning library for staff CPD.
- You want a single central record without a safeguarding records system.
Moving from Every HR
We bring your records across and your DSL checks them before anything goes live.
Can we bring our single central record across?
Coming soon: importing your record, with the date of each check and who did it. Until then, export it from Every HR's reports as Excel or CSV and keep it alongside.
Do we have to retype everyone?
Staff accounts come from your MIS. Coming soon: importing the checks themselves, for staff, supply, volunteers, governors and contractors, from your export.
When should we give notice?
Check your contract's notice period early. Keep Every HR running until your single central record has been checked in Pupil Protect.
