Behaviour Smart vs ConductIQ

Behaviour Smart is an AI-powered incident recording and behaviour management system for schools, special provisions and children’s homes. Staff can log incidents and review patterns across pupils, classes, year groups, locations and times of day. Its machine-learning models look for emerging patterns, triggers and early warning signs, then recommend strategies. The system can produce and update tailored SMART behaviour support plans after incident reports. Structured reflection prompts help staff support post-incident learning and restorative conversations with pupils.

Behaviour Smart connects with MIS platforms through Wonde and links incidents to CPOMS safeguarding records. The provider says it is Cyber Essentials certified and complies with GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, with data protection support from Veritau. Customers ordinarily act as data controllers, while Behaviour Smart Ltd processes customer information. Plans are tailored by setting and the number of children or young people; pricing is on request. It runs on iOS and web. A separate Post Incident Learning app is described as free and has an iOS App Store listing. Lite is intended to complement, not replace, wider safeguarding systems.

ConductIQ is a web-based platform for K–12 schools to track student behavior, produce conduct reports, and manage interventions. It records behavior and work ethic marks separately and lets schools customize behavior codes. Incidents can be divided into AM and PM using a transition time set to match the school schedule. Substitute teachers can submit incidents through a time-limited link without logging in; staff review submissions before they become official. The system compares student mark counts with the grade-level cohort and assigns Tier 2, Tier 3, or Elevated risk buckets. Intervention plans support progress tracking with system or school-defined measures and configurable logging cadence. Teachers can send referrals for counselor review, and staff can record consequences such as detention and suspension on student profiles. ConductIQ provides weekly PDF summaries and says reports can be sent automatically to parents each Friday. The maker says admin and counselor accounts require TOTP two-factor authentication, while teacher two-factor authentication is optional. Its Small School plan costs $600 a year for up to 300 students; a free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
