Anonymous Reporting For Schools
Anonymous reporting allows those in need to speak to a trusted member of staff, with safety and security in mind.
Whisper is an anonymous reporting avenue that helps your community to effectively report issues to you. Through Whisper, staff can become the first port of call and the tool can provide a supportive process to aid other safeguarding practices.
Whisper comes with a custom button, link or code for your school website or newsletter, and a unique dedicated mobile number for SMS reporting.
Improving Online Safety Policy and Practice
The DfE's Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance sets out a number of online safety steps schools need to take to ensure that children stay safe online.
360 Degree Safe is a free online platform that allows schools to self-review their online safety policy and practice. The self-review approach used in the 360 safe tool is more empowering, helping schools and academies to own their improvements themselves.
