Article summary

Set up individual teacher / mentor or coach relationships

The 'Direct Feedback' feature enables you to set up bespoke permissions between individual platform users, enabling a leader to provide feedback to an individual teacher irrespective of subject or year group permissions.

An example of this feature's use is where an ECT mentor is set up to provide and view the feedback of an ECT.
