Why Review Safeguarding and Filtering Provision

Keeping Children Safe in Education expects schools to have appropriate filtering and monitoring systems in place. A regular review helps DSLs and school business managers check that current provision meets statutory guidance, keeps pace with evolving risks, and represents value. This indicative benchmark offers a starting point for schools across Darlington and County Durham that want to compare their current approach against typical market expectations.

What the Darlington Estimate Covers

The estimate draws on approved Edunet benchmarking assumptions for safeguarding and filtering services. At this stage a numeric savings figure has not been calculated because key data points such as current school estate size and approved supplier pricing are not yet available. As a result, the confidence level is low and the output is indicative only. The review highlights areas where further investigation may be useful once current contract information is supplied.

How to Use This Safeguarding Review

School business managers and safeguarding leads can use the indicative benchmark as a discussion tool rather than a final recommendation. It is most helpful when combined with your own contract details, internal risk assessments and any upcoming renewal dates. By providing your current estate size and service requirements, a more accurate, evidence-led comparison can be built that reflects your school’s specific context and local market conditions.

Common questions

Why is this safeguarding review indicative?

The review is indicative because it relies on publicly available data and approved Edunet benchmark assumptions rather than your school’s actual contract details. A full review using your current pricing and requirements can give a more accurate picture.

What data do I need to provide for a more accurate estimate?

To improve the estimate, we would need details such as your current safeguarding/filtering provider, contract value, number of users or devices, and any specific compliance requirements. This information allows a tailored comparison against market options.

Is this review suitable for all types of schools?

The indicative benchmark is designed for primary, secondary and special schools. However, accuracy improves when the review is based on your school’s specific estate size and service needs. Please speak to our team for a bespoke comparison.
