Filtering and Monitoring

Keeping Children Safe in Education and the digital and technology standards for schools and colleges emphasise the need to have a clear strategy, roles and responsibilities, filters and monitoring arrangements in place to keep children safe online in education settings. This course is aimed at governors and those in leadership positions to ensure they are trained and confident in role, can access the tools they need to effectively lead filtering and monitoring arrangements and can document the decisions they have made in this area.
