Pupil Protect vs MyConcern
Tes MyConcern is a safeguarding case management system used by schools and trusts. Both let staff log concerns, keep a chronology for each pupil and share information with other agencies.
The main differences are in what’s included in the core product, how much is published about hosting and pricing, and the AI help in Pupil Protect.

When MyConcern may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose MyConcern.
- You already use other Tes products, such as Provision Map or Class Charts, and want one supplier.
- You want a large library of online safeguarding training courses from the same supplier.
- You want concerns about staff included in the core product, rather than added on.
Moving from MyConcern
We bring your records across and your DSL checks them before anything goes live.
Can we get our records out of MyConcern?
Tes doesn't publish its export terms, so ask your account manager what format your export comes in and whether there's a charge. [Confirm which MyConcern export formats we import]
What comes across?
Concerns and actions, chronologies with their original dates, documents, categories and alert groups. [Confirm exactly what imports from a MyConcern export]
We moved to MyConcern from Safeguard My School. Does that matter?
No. We import from your current MyConcern records, including anything brought across from Safeguard My School.
When should we give notice?
Check your contract's notice period early. You can keep MyConcern read-only until it ends.
