Tootoot
We are pleased to invite and share with all our pupils and parents/carers the details of your Tootoot account.
Tootoot is an app that allows any pupil on roll at the Academy to contact a member of the Academy team in a confidential and secure way. The app providers a safe, secure and diverse web-based safeguarding tool, which allows pupils to report incidents of bullying, problems they could be having at provision or any issues that may be concerning them in an anonymous, confidential and discrete manner. All pupils and parents/carers can contact their educational settings directly if they have an concerns, however the app provides an alternative and a direct route to share any issues with the Academy.
Tootoot reduces the friction and stigma attached to the reporting of such incidents, and ultimately provides us at the Academy with the tools required to track, monitor and resolve cases efficiently and significantly reduce bullying, abuse, racism, stress, anxiety, and mental health issues. Tootoot will not only encourage our pupils to report issues and concerns, it also encourages them to work together and strengthen communication links between them and Academy staff.
In the Spring term, we shared the details of how to start using the app and your child’s login details. If you need a reminder of these login details, please contact the Academy office on 0115 9151271 or via enquiry@unity.raleightrust.org.
If your child is due to join the Academy, the Tootoot login will be provided during your child’s admission.
