Full Online Monitoring for School IT Network Managers
We help reduce School IT Managers’ workload by removing a significant chunk of digital safeguarding responsibility so they can focus on their network and other IT ticket requests
During the Autumn term, last year, across 120+ schools, our team reviewed over 400,000 screenshots generated by our digital online safeguarding software, including those related to grooming, hacking, eating disorders, terrorism, mental health and pornography.
Many of these screenshots will have required the School IT Manager to triage in order to determine false positives from genuine online safeguarding incidents that require action by the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
Online monitoring is an extremely important and time-sensitive undertaking, but it takes School IT Managers away from other network tasks and can delay response times to staff and student IT issues.
Daily online monitoring can feel like one of those low level ticket tasks that take up a lot of your time. We help significantly reduce this workload.
Here’s how we help tech leaders:
We monitor your entire school network daily for you - across mixed devices and connections including iPad, Mac and Android
We go through every online safeguarding incident or ‘capture’ for you and categorise it based on pre-agreed criteria
We eliminate any false positives
We help reduce computer misuse such as hacking
Our set up is fast and we auto-sync with your current directory
We also integrate with leading Safeguarding Record Management solutions including MyConcern and CPOMs
Zero impact on your school network
