Managing School Safety in the Digital Age
Students today have unlimited access to the wealth of information that the internet provides. While the internet provides students with incredible opportunity, it also comes with immense danger. Children face radicalisation, exposure to harmful and inappropriate content and cyberbullying online. The consequences are immense.
In a large survey of young people who had been cyberbullied, 41% had developed social anxiety, 37% had developed depression, 26% had suicidal thoughts and 25% had self-harmed.1
As parents, teachers and school leaders look for ways to ensure students are protected both online and offline, Netsweeper has developed a comprehensive School Safety Ecosystem that provides the right technology to help digital safety leaders meet the demands of today’s online challenges.
Protect – Monitor – Prevent
Monitoring student activity online, in addition to filtering, introduces an additional level of student safeguarding by providing you with the opportunity to be proactive when a student is at risk.
About Netsweeper
Since 1999, Netsweeper has been an industry leader in Internet content classification and filtering solutions for schools and organisations around the globe.
We are constantly innovating to ensure schools are equipped with the most effective technology that meets the ever increasing demands of the digital world and their school’s individual requirements.
“As an organisation providing Internet connectivity for schools, schools that have to meet several compliance objectives set
by OFSTED, set by the government, keeping children safe and education to prevent strategy, Netsweeper helps us and schools meet those objectives and they really do have a keen eye and a
focus on the UK education space.”
