Why Schools Need Digital Monitoring
Securus software has been rigorously designed to meet the DfE statutory safeguarding and legislative requirements & adheres to the Education Inspection Framework for Ofsted & the ISI.
In September 2023 Ofsted updated its five-year framework, first unveiled in April 2022 with Keeping children safe, one of eight Strategic priorities stating that they “… will promote children’s safety and welfare in everything we do and highlight systemic safeguarding issues wherever we find them, so that schools and other education providers or other appropriate agencies can take preventative action”.
Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 includes updates to clarify misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories as safeguarding harms. KCSiE 2024/2023 provided updated safeguarding definitions building on existing guidance enhancing and incorporating policies on domestic abuse, sexual violence, and sexual harassment. There is also an increased emphasis on governing bodies and proprietors to ensure they facilitate a whole school approach to safeguarding, including appropriate monitoring systems.
Also worth noting is that the term peer-on-peer abuse has been replaced with child-on-child abuse to reflect the fact that abuse often takes place between children and young people of different ages.
As part of the guidance contained in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, The Prevent duty is intended to help schools and childcare providers think about what they can do to protect children from the risk of radicalisation and being drawn into terrorism.
The Independent Schools Inspectorate is appointed by the DfE to inspect all aspects of school life in association independent schools in England.
In line with statutory guidance inspectors assess whether schools “have in place arrangements that reflect the importance of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children” Safeguarding is embedded throughout the regulatory requirements that ISI inspects against and evaluated on every inspection.
