Behaviour Smart vs Notis

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.

Notis is a school communications and engagement app for schools and districts, designed to support PBIS/MTSS and Tier 1 behavior interventions. It connects students, teachers, parents and administrators through announcements, newsletters, reminders, live feeds and parent communication. Schools can award points for activities and achievements, then let students redeem them for school-selected prizes. Students can check in to events using geofencing and earn points. Other tools include group chats, polls and surveys, club management, and teacher-parent scheduling. Schools approve users, can remove them through a dashboard, and control which features and content are enabled. Private messaging is limited to users with a reason to contact each other, such as a shared team or class partnership. Schools may opt into business advertising and keep 70% of its revenue, or arrange for a business to sponsor the subscription. Notis is available on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing is not published; schools are directed to schedule a demo. The maker says its work on Notis began in 2013 and is based in Sandy, Utah.
