Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | Bromcom safeguarding |
|---|---|---|
| Logging a concern | Any adult in school, in a couple of minutes. Writing help can tidy rough notes, and never changes the child's words in quotation marks. Pupils can add worries themselves, and anyone can report anonymously by QR code. | 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 | The DSL group is alerted by in-app notification, email or text, and the concern shows who has opened it. Emails and texts show only the category. | By SMS, email or notification in the system. |
| Who can see what | Four access levels, decided by your DSL. | Granular, role-based permissions. |
| Audit trail | Every view, change, export, print and sign-in, searchable by your DSL. Unusual activity, such as bursts of views, is flagged for review. | A detailed log of changes made by users. |
| MIS | Works with Bromcom and 11 other MIS, so you can change MIS without changing safeguarding system. | Part of the Bromcom MIS. |
| AI | Writing help and suggested next steps with the reason, on GPT-6 through Azure OpenAI in a UK region. A person approves 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. |

When Bromcom safeguarding may suit you better
