How DSLs Can See and Stop Students at Risk Online with Digital Monitoring

with Helen McKay of St Mary's Catholic High School
and Gabi Walshaw of Smoothwall

Tuesday 13th January | 11.30am - 12.15pm GMT

As a DSL, your ability to spot online risks early can be the difference between a swift, successful intervention and a concern that escalates unnoticed. This session explores how digital monitoring works beyond the web filter to become a critical layer of visibility - helping DSLs see and respond to student concerns in an increasingly complex and fast-moving digital world.
