Pupil Protect vs Tootoot
Tootoot is best known for giving pupils a confidential way to report worries, and also lets staff record incidents. Pupil Protect is built around the DSL’s record, with pupils, staff and the community all able to report into it.
They overlap on pupil reporting, recording incidents and keeping a chronology, but they start from different places.
