Pupil Protect vs Sign In Central Record
Sign In Central Record, formerly SCR Tracker, is Sign In App’s single central record add-on. Staff in Pupil Protect covers the single central record too, along with safer recruitment, training and concerns about adults.
The main differences are how much of safer recruitment each covers, and which other product each one is built to work with.

Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | Sign In Central Record |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Pre-employment checks, with documents stored in one place. |
| DBS and right to work | Recorded as part of each person's checks. Only the last few characters of any document number are kept. | Stores right to work documents and DBS checks. |
| Other checks | 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. | Includes social media 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. | Not stated publicly beyond pre-employment checks. |
| 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. | Not stated publicly. |
| 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. | Incident tracking.

When Sign In Central Record may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose Sign In Central Record.
- You already use Sign In App at reception and want your single central record from the same supplier.
- You want entry refused automatically at sign-in when checks are missing.
- You want published prices you can check before talking to anyone.
- You want a single central record without a safeguarding records system.
