imabi Wins Global EdTech Award for Pioneering Safeguarding Platform

At imabi, we’re dedicated to transforming safeguarding through cutting-edge technology in educational settings.

We’re thrilled to announce that our efforts have been recognised globally, and we’ve been awarded the prestigious Global EdTech Award for Best Wellbeing, Safeguarding, and Online Safety EdTech for our innovative imabi Inspire app.

What Makes imabi Inspire Stand Out?

Our imabi Inspire platform is designed to enhance student safety and wellbeing in educational settings. This revolutionary app is currently being used by 25,000 students across the UK and is continually expanding its reach. 

By offering features such as anonymous reporting of inappropriate behaviours, feedback surveys, targeted guidance, and a portal for essential school information, imabi Inspire is an all-in-one safeguarding solution.

The judges of the Global EdTech Awards were highly impressed, with one judge commenting, ‘I was literally bowled over by the impact they have had on staff and students at all the schools they have been used by.’

Real Impact in Schools

Stephanie Gibson, Deputy Head at Barking Abbey School, shared how imabi Inspire made a significant difference. 

She said, ‘Shortly after implementing imabi, Ofsted came for an inspection. They were highly impressed with how we were encouraging students to report their safety concerns and recognised that traditional methods like emails or a library suggestion box are now obsolete.’

Across the UK, schools are experiencing transformative changes in their approach to safeguarding. 

The platform’s ability to facilitate anonymous reporting has empowered students to voice their concerns without fear, leading to a more open and secure school environment. 

Feedback surveys provide students with a platform to share their experiences and thoughts, allowing schools to adapt and improve their policies and practices based on real-time insights.

Our Mission

Our Founder and CEO, Mark Balaam, expressed his excitement about the award, ‘We’re absolutely delighted to win a Global EdTech award. Our mission is centred on making schools and other educational facilities a safe space for children, using the latest technology to help facilitate that.

Winning an award and receiving such high praise from the judges is a wonderful feeling and it just serves to reinforce and reinvigorate our commitment to making a genuine difference.’

At imabi, our commitment to safeguarding goes beyond technology. We believe in creating a culture of safety and inclusivity within schools, and our platform is designed to support this mission by providing tools that help schools understand and address the needs and concerns of their students. 

The success stories we hear from schools using imabi Inspire fuel our passion and drive to continue innovating and improving our solutions.
