Not all digital safety solutions
are suitable for the independent school environment

To properly safeguard students, ensure compliance, and fulfil parental and stakeholder expectations your digital safety technology must perform on multiple levels.

It must be capable of protecting students across a broad range of ages and nationalities. It must cater for a diverse mix of device types. And be appropriate for students with 24/7 Wi-Fi access from their own devices. It must strike a balance between giving students the freedom to learn as part of a world class education with the duty of care to protect their wellbeing.

Unless your provider has a deep expertise in the education sector, their solutions may not be properly tooled for your unique environment. This puts your students, teachers, school, network and reputation at risk.
