Who are we and what are we offering?

Hi! I’m Cath Devaney, Partnerships Director here at Yipiyap. Thank you very much for reaching out about getting Peerscroller for your organisation.

We’re delighted by the interest we’ve had in Peerscroller so far. Less than a year after launch, Peerscroller became a Home Office approved resource and has been promoted by the likes of Educate Against Hate, Childline, and Papyrus.

Every school, college, or other organisation using Peerscroller is different, but one thing that everybody has in common is too few hours in the day. So, to make the most of our time together, here are two simple steps you can take to help prepare for our meeting.

Firstly, if you haven’t already, watch our Peerscroller explainer video. It’s only two minutes long but has all you need to know about Peerscroller and how it will work in your setting. Secondly, I’ve sent you over a quote for Peerscroller, based on the learner numbers you’ve provided, which you can share with your finance department and confirm your budget ahead of time. Payment is made by Direct Debit, so the cost is spread across the year.

If money’s tight (and, let’s be honest, when isn’t it?), consider who in your setting can benefit from this resource, as you may be able to draw from multiple budgets. Our partner schools and colleges fund Peerscroller in a number of ways, from PSHE and PD budgets to safeguarding, inclusion, wider cross-curriculum subjects, Pupil Premium, and even marketing budgets.

Those two steps will help us make the most of our meeting. Once they’re done, simply hit the button at the end of your quote document and book a time for us to meet. We’ll discuss your setting’s needs and find out if Peerscroller is a good fit.

But, of course, if there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to drop me a line at cath@yipiyap.co.uk. If all goes well, we’ll issue your school or college’s contract, then arrange a meeting with your setting’s dedicated Peerscroller Success Specialist to plan your Peerscroller rollout.

But for now, watch our explainer and chat with your finance department about funding – and I’ll look forward to meeting you soon!
