Getting Started with Safer Schools IOM

Getting Started with Safer Schools IOM

The App is free to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Simply search Safer Schools Isle of Man. 

If you're a pupil logging in, read on. If you're a parent, carer, or staff member, click here. If you've already made an account and need help using your entry codes, click here. Alternatively, if you're having difficulties logging in, see our troubleshooting steps.

Are you a pupil logging in to the Safer Schools App?

STEP 1 Open your App, and select the option that says Pupil

STEP 2 The App will then ask you Enter the Code or scan the QR Entry Code provided by your school. Select whichever option you prefer. To enter a code, you'll need to search your school first and select it from the list. It will then ask you for your 4-Digit PIN Number from your school.

Warning
The Scan QR Code option will open an in-App camera to scan it with. This is the one that must be used, otherwise it will not work.
You will be logged in immediately! No password or usernames to remember (or forget!).


Are you a parent, carer or staff member logging into the Safer Schools Isle of Man App?

As an adult user, you'll need to start by creating an account. We do not require the children to do this due to GDPR compliance. Your account is used to allow you to utilise the features with the App.

Step 1 - Open the App. Select that you are Staff or 
Parent/Carer.

WarningNote you can still add parent roles for another school if you are a teacher and have begun with a Staff account. 

Step 2 - You'll now be prompted for an email address and password. If this is your first time, select Create An Account in the box underneath the log in bar. Enter your name, use an email address you have access to and create a password. This could be your personal email address or a school one if you're school staff.

Step 3 - Once filled, click Register. You'll then see a terms and conditions pop-up
Warning

Note: You'll need to scroll down to highlight the Agree button. Once it's highlighted, you can click it. If you do not scroll down, you will not be able to continue.

Once this has been agreed to, your new account has been created and you'll be directed to the Add School Or Role page.

WarningNote: These are the details you will use whenever you need to log in. Forgotten Your Password? Not a problem! Head to our article here to find out how to reset it.
Step 4: Now you're logged in, we need to add your role or roles. This corresponds to your role within the school community. As an adult, you may have a child in one school, and be a staff member in another. The Safer Schools Isle of Man App allows for multi-role log in. Find out about adding or switching roles here ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป

WarningNote All content is age and role appropriate, so as a parent you may see slightly different features or content, or have different capabilities than you do as a staff member.

Each role has its own 4-Digit PIN Number or QR Entry Code. Once you've logged in, you'll be prompted to Add School. These codes can only be obtained from your school Admin Account holders. Once you have the relevant one, Enter the 4-Digit PIN Number (after searching for your school) or Scan the QR Entry Code (there is no need to search for your school if using this option). You will then immediately be logged in to the corresponding role, and this will be saved to your account.

Warning

Note: The Scan QR code option will open an in-App camera to scan it with. This is the one that must be used otherwise it will not work.


How do I use my codes?

The 4-Digit PIN Number or the QR Entry Codes are provided by the school, and are unique to every school. 

WarningThe Service Team at INEQE Safeguarding Group and Safer Schools will not be able to give out school entry codes for security reasons. If you're in need of a code, please contact the school directly.

Logging in with a PIN Code or QR entry code

If using a PIN Code to log in, you'll need to search the school name first. Once you see it pop up in the list, select it and click Continue. Then you'll see a screen with 4 spaces. Enter your unique 4-Digit PIN Number here, and tap Enter Code.

If use a QR Entry Code, you won't need to search the school's name. Just tap the Scan QR Code option and this will open a camera in-App for you to scan it with. Once you do, this will log you in/add the correct school and role to your account immediately.


Troubleshooting Steps

In the unlikely event that you're having difficulty creating an account or logging in, here are some simple solutions:

"Email Already In Use"

You may have received an error telling you your email is already in use by another account. This is often the case if you attempted to sign up already without having a school code. You got as far as registering your account but then, without a code to enter, you exited the App. Our App log ins work on an Authentication and Authorisation basis. Your email address and other information is there to authenticate you as a user, whilst the entry code is there to authorise your access to the content within the App in relation to your school. Therefore, if you've not reached this step when setting up your account, your account has been created but not authorised and attached to a school. You can still log in but will be taken directly to the Add School menu until you can enter a code. You will not be able to re-register with the same email address, as your account already exists.

No School Code?

When you first register for an account, after you accept the terms and conditions, you'll be taken to a page asking to search for your school and add their entry code. This is for Authorisation purposes. If you're unable to provide a code at this time don't worry! Your account has been created but not authorised and attached to a school. You can still log in but will be taken directly to the Add
 
School menu until you can enter a code. You will not be able to re-register with the same email address, as your account already exists.
