Child Abuse

​

We had a serious allegation of abuse reported through tootoot which highlighted to us the importance of having the app available for our pupils.

The pupil was concerned that their friend was a victim of abuse. The messages and the screen grabs the pupil sent through tootoot were used by police to build their investigation and subsequent court case.

tootoot brought this case to the attention of staff much faster than face to face reporting and gave the pupil who reported an extra way to communicate their concerns, one that they felt was confidential and secure to use.”

Pupil Homelessness

One of our students had been homeless for some time, unable to find the right support and embarrassed to ask for help. Things got worse when they became harassed and intimidated at the park, at one point their tent was set on fire. Eventually the student reached out to us through the tootoot app and asked for advice anonymously.

Without tootoot this student wouldn’t have had the confidence to reach out.”

“I really need to speak to you because lately I’ve been thinking about life and how I just hate mine and how I just want to die.”

​

This became a safeguarding concern and mum and dad were advised.
Mum came into school to talk about next steps and between us we
identified areas of worry for the pupil which we are working closely with the
family on.

What tootoot has done is open up communication within the family, and the
year 6 pupil has presented much more positively in school and at home
since.

The pupil’s mum has expressed her thanks that we have such a system in
place for children to access not just in school time.

Supported Ofsted

“Tootoot has been an amazing addition to our school. It has helped us learn about a number of pupil concerns earlier than we would have learned about them with traditional methods such as face-to-face reporting.

It has also given our SLT the data needed to make informed decisions about how best to support our pupils.

During our recent Ofsted Inspection, the inspectors were really impressed with tootoot and how we used the system. We used the dashboard reports from tootoot to demonstrate to the Ofsted inspectors the positive impact our curriculum, safeguarding and wellbeing activities have had for our pupil groups – it was received really well.”

More effective

"tootoot is 6 x more effective than face-to-face reporting when children need to talk about bullying and their mental health."

Executive Head, North West School

Helping pupils feel safe

"We did a whole school survey and 98% reported they felt safe and what to do if there was a problem - we think tootoot contributed hugely to that."

Supported high standards of safeguarding

"Tootoot has supported the high standards of safeguarding at our school and has helped reinforce the role that every pupil plays in keeping the school happy and safe. Every pupil has a login and can report anything they witness, cementing the fact that pupil voice and safeguarding is an important part of everyday life here at Old Hall Drive. 

Tootoot has given our pupils another way to speak-up making it quicker and easier to make our pupils feel listened to, and have their concerns resolved."

Saves time

“In terms of producing a chronology for an individual child tootoot can save me hours – this might be sending info onto a new school or sending a report to a meeting – I would say it could save me about 3 hours per complex child.

Monthly I can produce behaviour reports in seconds compared to collecting the info and then producing a table or report – again a few hours. Annually it could save about a week of producing reports I would think.”

Safe space

"tootoot gives pupils a safe place to report their concerns, I'd advise anyone to use it."
