The Sentinel Advantage for 

Vulnerable Pupil Tracker

Supporting local authorities to safeguard vulnerable pupils through better data, earlier intervention, and stronger multi-agency collaboration

Turning data into early, effective intervention

The challenges of protecting vulnerable pupils are growing, ranging from school disengagement to exploitation and serious youth violence. Yet without a clear, joined-up view of each pupil’s context, critical warning signs are often missed.

Sentinel’s Vulnerable Pupil Tracker (VPT) brings that insight together in a secure, accessible platform. It connects real-time data from schools, social care, police, and other partners to build a clear picture of each pupil’s risks, needs, and history. The solution supports both local priorities and national initiatives, including the government’s SAFE Taskforce.
