The primary purpose of LIDDERS is to promote resources and tools making them accessible to as many people as possible, with the hope that they (i.e YOU) will embrace them.

 

This includes a range of Free and Open Source Software; and online services.

PIMSS is a web browser based software application specifically designed to assist with the welfare and safeguarding of children in education.

 

Front-end features include:

• Student lookup.
• 'Noticboard' to inform all users of key, core critical updates throughout the day.
