Filtering and Monitoring: Questions School Leaders Should Ask
A leadership-focused review of coverage, responsibilities, reporting and safeguarding evidence.
Begin with responsibility
Filtering and monitoring needs joint ownership across governors or trustees, senior leaders, the designated safeguarding lead and IT support.
Understand the coverage
Ask which users, devices, locations, connections and applications are covered, including school-managed devices used away from site.
Review usefulness
Reports and alerts must reach appropriate people in a form they can interpret and act on. Record decisions, incidents and improvement work.
