Online Safety
Online safety tools developed to identify the potential warning signs of at-risk student behavior.
The first to respond to the changing online safety landscape
Building a full picture of every learner’s digital activity, Impero Education Pro’s comprehensive online safety tools are designed in response to UK Government guidance and legislation including The Prevent Duty, the Department for Education’s Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) guidance and the UK Safer Internet Centre’s ‘appropriate monitoring’ provider checklist, to help schools adopt a best practice approach.
Impero Education Pro provides a web-based interface for safeguarding staff designed to help schools to fulfil their legal duty of care around internet safety and safeguarding online. This best practice approach to safeguarding in schools, including active monitoring and logging incident captures to provide contextual insight, helps schools to identify potential risk, respond before an incident escalates, and educate students about responsible online behaviour.
