FREE Cloud Filter to the end of the school year

If your organisation uses Chromebooks and you are without remote filtering at this time we will provide you with Cloud Filter free of charge to the end of term. This will enable you to monitor and protect Chromebooks from harmful online content while students are at home.

Requiring no on-premise software, set up is simple and quick. Schedule an online tutorial at a date and time of your choosing and one of our experts will walk you through how it can allow you to see browsing activity and identify children who may be at-risk – children who may otherwise go unnoticed.
