How Roots works

One calm process from report to follow-up.

The experience is designed around clarity and safety, not bureaucracy.

Tell us what happened

Choose anonymous, confidential or identified reporting. Share only what you are comfortable sharing.

Safety check

Urgent situations are separated from ordinary school complaints and routed to the right help.

Follow your case

See status, next action, responsible contact and a clear timeline.

Get support

Receive practical guidance, referral options and follow-up until the case is resolved.

What you can report

More than “bullying.”

Trust by design

Your privacy is part of the product.

Roots clearly explains who can see each piece of information, how long it is kept, and the difference between anonymous, confidential and identified reporting.

Public statistics should always be aggregated. Exact school incidents, child identities and evidence should never appear on a public map.
