We are working to advance child digital safety and wellbeing to a level no one could have imagined just a few years ago.
Our solutions support every member of the school community. They also harmonise into a Digital Safety and Wellbeing Framework. It gives leaders a practical roadmap to help elevate and strengthen provision in a more manageable way. Our digital safety and wellbeing solutions are the most comprehensive in the world. One in three schools rely on them to help safeguard tens of thousands of children in the UK every single day.

Prevention & Enablement
Solutions in this pillar deliver greatest impact by helping to minimise students’ exposure to known risks.
When known risks are mitigated schools can begin to reduce the need for interventions.
Web filtering solutions that help prevent students from seeing inappropriate, harmful or dangerous content live here.
So do classroom management tools that help minimise exposure to distractions in the digital classroom, giving teachers full control to keep students focused and on-task.
Prevention and enablement are the first steps in a school’s digital safety and wellbeing strategy.

Early Detection & Intervention
Solutions in this pillar help provide vital insight if students’ online behaviours suggest they may be at risk or vulnerable in an area of their lives.
They also provide a channel for students to speak up and express how they are feeling – either about themselves or things that are happening in their lives.
Solutions in this pillar can let schools know if a student is suspected of being in harm’s way or starting to become vulnerable, They can also help identify the causative factors behind unsafe online searches identified by the web filter.
