Pupil Protect vs Entrysign
Entrysign is a sign-in system used by schools and workplaces. Both sign visitors in at reception and help you account for people in an evacuation.
The main difference is that Visitors in Pupil Protect is built around safeguarding: a briefing before the badge prints, a quiet watch list, and records shared with your DSL team.

When Entrysign may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose Entrysign.
- You want staff movements and visitors in one sign-in system. [Remove if Visitors records staff movements.]
- You only want visitor management, without a safeguarding records system.
- You want a supplier that also serves workplaces outside education.
Moving from Entrysign
