Pupil Protect

Pupil Protect Insight

Your whole trust’s safeguarding, in counts.

Insight brings together the figures from every school’s Pupil Protect: concerns, plans, overdue actions and compliance. It never shows a pupil’s name or what a record says.

For trust safeguarding leads, trustees and governors, and the designated safeguarding lead (DSL) in each school.

Trust overview, example figuresInsight
Concerns logged1,90629.7 per 100 pupils
Child protection plans47and 96 child in need
Overdue actions3114 at one school
KCSIE confirmations94%51 staff outstanding
Online safetyUp at 6 of 8 schoolsUp 38%
Child-on-child abuseDown at 5 of 8 schoolsDown 12%

Counts only. Numbers under 5 are shown as “fewer than 5”, and no one in Insight can open a pupil’s record.

Every school on one page

Compare schools fairly, per 100 pupils, and see which ones need a hand. Open a school to see why it stands out and arrange a support visit.

  • Measures that show how safeguarding is runConcerns per 100 pupils, child protection, child in need and looked-after numbers, overdue actions, and how quickly urgent concerns are opened.
  • Clear rules for statusA school is marked Review with 10 or more overdue actions, or when under 80% of urgent concerns are opened within 15 minutes. It’s marked Watch with 5 or more overdue. Each school’s page shows overdue actions by week.
  • Support without pupil details“Arrange support visit” emails the school’s headteacher and DSL the figures behind it, never anything about a pupil.
  • Worked out liveFigures come straight from each school’s own Pupil Protect, so nobody fills in a return. Trust admin shows each school’s MIS connection, how its categories map to reporting groups, and the trust’s audit trail.

Trends that compare like with like

Each term is compared at the same point, so six weeks into this autumn lines up with six weeks into last autumn. Filter by phase, school and reporting group.

  • Notable changes, not noiseInsight points out changes of 15% or more, and only where both terms have at least 10 concerns.
  • Read with careA rise isn’t always bad news. It can mean staff are noticing and reporting more.
  • A summary you check firstIf your trust has switched AI on, it can draft a plain-English summary from the counts on the page, never from records. It’s a draft for you to check, and it isn’t shared with anyone. Coming soon: adding it to a board report draft.

AI summary, draft. Check before sharing

Mental health concerns are up 21% on the same point last autumn, with the largest rise at one secondary school. Child-on-child abuse is down 12%.

Prevent and exploitation numbers are under 5 at most schools, so they’re hidden and shouldn’t be compared school to school.

Compliance across every school

The single central record, staff confirming they’ve read Keeping children safe in education, DSL training, the policy review, the annual audit and governor link visits, worked out from each school’s records. Each shown as met, due or overdue, with what’s outstanding. Coming soon: filtering and monitoring.

Board reports in an afternoon, not a week

Choose the sections, add a note on schools needing support, check the preview, then print it or save it as a PDF for trustees. Coming soon: saving your choices as a template for next term.

Coming soon: a section on allegations and low-level concerns about staff, as counts only by school, and a section on AI showing how often drafts were used, edited or dismissed across the trust.

Counts, never names

Insight is built so a trust can see patterns without anyone outside a school seeing a child. Small numbers are hidden, because in a small school a small number can point to one pupil.

  • No names, no record contentInsight holds counts. Nobody in Insight can open a pupil’s record or read what a concern says.
  • Numbers under 5 are hiddenThey’re shown as “fewer than 5” everywhere: on screen, in exports and in board reports.
  • Small numbers aren’t comparedChanges are only pointed out when both terms have enough concerns to mean something.
  • The AI sees counts tooSummaries are drafted from the figures on the page. A person checks them before they go anywhere.
  • Every export is loggedYou confirm before a board pack or export is created, and the trust can see who made it and when.
