Pupil Premium
Receipt can provide recognised evidence that the school serves disadvantaged pupils.
Important: SchoolsOut does not imply that Pupil Premium must or should fund this product, and no arbitrary receipt threshold is set here.SchoolsOut Safety Access
Safety Access for eligible UK schools
A UK-native pathway using recognised disadvantage evidence, clear safeguarding workflows and a respectful review—not US terminology copied across the Atlantic.
Objective evidence
Signals that can support an eligibility review
An official signal begins the assessment. It does not replace institution verification, workflow fit or available cohort capacity.
Local-authority or DfE evidence
Recognised classifications or programme evidence may support objective review.
Important: Evidence must identify the applying institution and be current.Manual review
A route for legitimate high-need settings that do not fit a single national signal.
Important: Manual review considers institutional evidence without asking for individual pupil stories.Initial evidence

Practical questions
Before an institution applies
Does Safety Access replace a school’s safeguarding policy?
No. SchoolsOut supports the operational workflow. The school or trust remains responsible for policy, escalation and staff decisions.
Can a trust apply for a cohort?
Yes. Trust and local-authority cohorts belong in the partner pathway, with each participating institution verified.
