“We have used Securus for many years and over this time we have watched it grow from strength to strength. It has transformed the behaviour of our students and we now get very little computer misuse. Securus has helped on numerous occasions to detect and provide early intervention for student safeguarding issues and the evidence is used by our student support department to help provide a safe, caring environment for all students as well as helping us to enforce our acceptable usage policy. Students can learn from their mistakes safely.”

“Securus has been instrumental in safeguarding our students over the past 3 years and alerts us to any misuse on the computer systems. When we implemented Securus, the support engineers spent a lot of time tailoring it to our needs, to ensure we didn’t receive too many ‘false positives’. We have also added our own specific key words to look out for and the Securus is flexible enough to keep up with the constantly changing world and trends. The widespread monitoring on our school system has even surprised our own students.”

“We allow our students to take laptops home, when required outside of school hours. To ensure the continued appropriate use of technology, Securus will monitor off site activity and store it until back on the school network, where any captures can be viewed. Our students are from 13 to 18 years old and they know when they log in to use the ICT suite, that any inappropriate behaviour will be flagged and dealt with, which teaches them to use school technology safely.”

“I have been using Securus now for over five years, and I would recommend it to anybody who has network responsibility and is looking to build on their existing tools, or needs a robust solution. Securus is an integral part of our school network infrastructure, and as vital to me as any other server in the organisation. Securus can be configured to provide other non-technical support professionals with access to support their other activities, and this is very important to get the best out of the system.”

“We have found Securus to be an invaluable tool to help ensure that our pupils’ use of the school’s IT facilities is adequately monitored and when there are concerns it gives us the ability to act quickly to resolve them with clear and accurate evidence. Blocking and filtering of websites is not enough and Securus provides us with an extra layer of protection which is vital to ensuring that we safeguard our pupils in their use of school IT equipment.”

“We were prompted by our investigation into the recent government requirement to investigate the steps that we take to keep children safe from harm online from cyberbullying, pornography and the risk of radicalisation. We felt that Securus offered us the best possible solution in addressing the requirements of ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ and the needs of our school.”

"I was sat in a School Governor meeting and hearing great feedback on the Securus Software that is installed at our school! Thanks for providing a fantastically secure and intelligent software to keep our children safe."

“We are one of the largest primary schools in Leicester with children from 3 to 11 years of age. Safeguarding our pupils is paramount and therefore having Securus in place gives us a better insight into what is happening on the network. We encourage our pupils to develop moral and social behaviours and to have respect for others, so by monitoring their activity we can detect any instances that occur on the school devices and take appropriate action.”

"Securus has taken safeguarding to the next level here at The Gilberd School. We can quickly identify any threats to our students and deal with these in a timely manner. Support has been exceptional, especially helping us migrate our on premise solution to their recently released cloud solution. The ability to share this “capture” information in an easy to navigate portal for other staff such as DLS and Senior Team has also made our monitoring very efficient."

"It's easy to manage Securus, as the server has been set up on the cloud and this means all updates are taken care of, leaving us to monitor. We check Securus daily as opposed to intermittently as the quantity of captures is between 30-50 per day and therefore easy to manage. Now we have a very good chance to pick up any safeguarding concerns rather than miss anything. If a serious incident is captured it will be reported to the head of year, who will then take action. I recently found a student looking at suicide pages - some students do look at this for their work, but this student caught my attention as i know they are a SEN student, so just in case i reported it immediately to the head of year and SEN teacher"

"As a Head, Secures gave me confidence that access to unsuitable material on the internet was not being locked (as kids know how to get round blocking systems ) but monitored and detected swiftly. The result was that the 450 boarders who had internet access from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm knew that they could access such material, but did not do so as they knew there would be consequences.... A genuine example of software which educates children."

" Securus dovetails seamlessly with modern technology like Google Chromebooks and iPADs providing cutting edge monitoring of pupils activity, whilst on the network, searching the web. The product simply sells itself, it is literally a no brainer. What I can add is this, Securus also delivers, supports and continues to evolve its incredible innovation. I genuinely cannot ever see us not using this invaluable resource."

"My feedback is simple – the service saves me potentially hours of additional work & is very cost effective.  I am very happy with the service and do not have anything that I think should be changed or improved!In a nutshell – perfect."

"The Securus Full Monitoring service has without doubt made our job far easier than it was previously and more importantly has enabled us to identify more concerns than we ever had before. Gone are the days where one of our IT technicians had to troll through dozens of false positive captures in order to identify genuine risky behaviour by our students online. Having Securus in operation 24 hours a day every day gives peace of mind to the designated safeguarding team, which is particularly important at a time when we have loaned out over 300 laptops to students and another one hundred to staff during this second period of remote learning. I would recommend this service to any school without hesitation."

“FMS definitely saves you time, I can remember spending a fair bit of time on a Saturday deciding on false positives etc when we were monitoring in-school. It Is very cost effective, allowing senior leaders to focus on other matters but also to deal with screen captures quickly and objectively as they come about. We are really happy with the service; it has really helped with our safeguarding of pupils and also helps to pinpoint places in the school where the e-safety message is not as well delivered as it could be.”

"FMS saves a huge amount of time. We would have to train up to understand and pick up on the screenshots, or appoint a specific MoS. By using Securus/ ITS4all, the process becomes ‘automatic’. To do this job effectively in-house, we would need a percentage of a Technician time set a-side. We don’t have enough as it is, so you are well worth the money! Very happy with the service. I like the fact that lines of communication are always open, and always honest. I cannot think of anything that could improve the service at the moment."
