Senior management teams

Every school has to stay vigilant for bullying or harmful behaviour and meet the needs of its most vulnerable pupils.

By establishing clear guidelines for and monitoring ICT use, Securus safeguards your pupils. It also transforms behaviour in lessons, empowers teaching staff and protects your network from harmful activity.

Protecting pupils

Securus gives your pupils the freedom to use the internet and computer applications responsibly. They understand clear boundaries and what will happen if these are ignored.

• Bullies know their behaviour will be identified and captured
• Victims do not need to come forward as bullying is no longer anonymous
• Pupils know that internet shopping or email banter will be monitored
• Pupils taught how to be safe
• Provides a safety net for those who put themselves at risk

Supporting teachers

Introducing Securus into your school supports your teachers, in and out of the classroom. Acting as a deterrent and providing impartial evidence, when required, will:

• Boost pupil learning and keep lessons on-task
• Identify children who are pushing the boundaries
• Take confrontations out of the class
• Establish clear evidence of ICT misuse
• Increase staff morale
• Make enforcement easier

By making staff aware of the issues as soon as they happen, Securus reassures teachers and gives them the information they need to act quickly and appropriately.

Impartial evidence also protects staff against false accusations and stops them becoming a target of bullying themselves.

Reassuring parents and governors

Securus reassures parents and governors about:

• Safety from online threats and bullying while at school
• Reinforcing reputation as a 'best practice' school
• Empowering teachers through evidence to discuss with parents
• Meeting Government guidelines
• Limiting liability
• Flagging up inappropriate use by staff

Installing Securus in your school sends out a positive message. It demonstrates you take your duty of care seriously to parents, education authorities and Ofsted.

Providing pastoral care

Securus staff supports your behaviour management team, SMT or SLT, ensuring all interested stakeholders are engaged in the establishment of:

• Cyberbullying guidelines, integral to anti-bullying/behaviour policies as well as ICT policies
• Clear structure to follow up actions or sanctions

We work with school professionals to identify potential risks and improve levels of student behaviour.

We are also able to help you establish a managed service that monitors violations on your behalf and alerts you when action is required.
