The good news is that you probably already have access to this tool. The better news is that activating your account is as easy as checking your inbox for your DDD password details, and then joining one of our login and navigation webinars (or click here to watch the webinar recording).
We are currently reaching out to officials who have previously been given DDD usernames and passwords, but who haven’t yet accessed the platform. If you think you’re one of them, then keep an eye out for an SMS or email from DDD to help you get started.

| Around 18 500 schools (that’s more than 70% of those that submit data to DDD) are now successfully using the new Valistractor. Thank you for your support and commitment! If you need Valistractor assistance, follow these tips to ensure you give the Helpdesk team all the info they need to resolve your query quickly. | Next week we go live with the enhanced Overview page. Previously this page contained a large number of statistics and background calculations, which made it slow to load when the dashboard was busy. It will soon be simpler and faster, with all the same info still available elsewhere on DDD. Click here to see what to expect. | A rigorous process is in place to address issues that officials may experience on Valistractor or DDD. It includes investigating who is affected and possible root causes. This can take time, especially when dealing with new technology, but rest assured that our team is determined to resolve queries as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience! |
