"School leaders are pragmatic. They don’t want wishy-washy. Motional fits with that - it gives you steps to take, data, and progress."
Thomas Oates, Virtual School Head, Barnsley MBC
Trust Centre
Security you can trust. People you can rely on.
Schools trust Motional ® with information that matters.
That trust is something we take seriously.
From the way data is protected, to how the platform is developed, supported and continually improved, our approach is designed to give schools confidence that their information is secure, their privacy is respected, and their wellbeing work can continue without interruption.
Trust by Design
Security, privacy and responsible governance underpin every decision we make. From the way we develop Motional to how we support schools and manage information, our aim is simple: to provide a platform you can use with confidence.
Trust is built in, not bolted on.
Governance & Assurance
Strong cybersecurity depends on more than technology. It requires clear leadership, effective policies and continual review.
Our Cyber Assurance certification demonstrates that security is embedded throughout the organisation, from risk management and supplier oversight to business continuity and incident response. Our approach also aligns with the principles of the UK Government’s Cyber Governance Code of Practice, helping ensure cyber security is considered across the organisation, not simply within our technology.

"How lucky to have had the opportunity to work alongside a company which is open to, in fact embraces, the lived professional experiences of teachers to explore and modify a wellbeing assessment tool to meet the needs of neurodiverse young people." "How lucky to have had the opportunity to work alongside a company which is open to, in fact embraces, the lived professional experiences of teachers to explore and modify a wellbeing assessment tool to meet the needs of neurodiverse young people. 'Equity' is a word much quoted but not always acted on. Having spent time with the Motional Team and array of teachers from special schools engaging in professional discussions regarding our diverse learners I truly feel we have created a system where we can truly identify our pupils to meet their unique needs to build strategies that nurture and support their emotional and social development and wellbeing."
