Why Look at Safeguarding and Filtering Now?
Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) continues to emphasise the need for appropriate filtering and monitoring systems. Many schools we speak with want to check that their current setup matches the expectations set out in statutory guidance—particularly around monitoring multiple devices, managing over‑the‑shoulder risks and responding to alerts promptly. Even where your provision is effective, a structured review can provide confidence that your approach remains fit for purpose.
How Schools Across Sheffield and South Yorkshire Can Compare Their Safeguarding Approach
A meaningful safeguarding review starts with clear, comparable data. Edunet Portal helps schools bring together information from multiple sources—such as your current filtering supplier details, internal safeguarding logs and benchmark indicators—into one indicative view. This process does not assume you are falling short; it simply creates a helpful picture of where your filtering and monitoring might differ from typical set‑ups. Any comparison is indicative only, guided by available evidence rather than generic...
What a Safeguarding Review Usually Covers
A thorough review looks at several layers of your online safety approach. This can include device‑level filtering strength, monitoring coverage across school‑owned and personal devices, and the workflows you use to act on safeguarding alerts. Edunet Portal can help you frame these questions against a neutral benchmark, identifying where a deeper look may be useful. Because every safeguarding framework is different, no single number can tell the whole story—data is treated as a helpful guide, not a scorecard.
Common questions
Is this a free safeguarding audit for my school?
No. Edunet Portal offers an indicative, evidence-led review to help you compare your current safeguarding approach against typical practice. It is not a formal audit or compliance check, and it does not guarantee any particular outcome. You remain in control of what actions, if any, you take next.
Does Edunet Portal recommend specific filtering suppliers?
We do not promote or endorse individual suppliers. Our role is to bring together available public data and approved benchmarks so you can see a clearer picture. Any comparison provided is indicative and should be part of your own due diligence, not a substitute for it.
Can I see how Sheffield schools compare on safeguarding spend?
At present, the financial data needed to make that comparison with high confidence is not available on Edunet Portal. Where schools choose to share anonymised contextual information, we can add helpful local benchmarks—but only when the evidence is sufficient to be trustworthy.
Safeguarding and Filtering review for schools in Sheffield and South Yorkshire
Filtering, monitoring and supplier confirmation
The safeguarding and filtering review considers filtering, monitoring, pupil or user count context and supplier confirmation. It avoids claiming a weakness unless the evidence supports one.
Sheffield school context
This page keeps the local review wording separate from the school-specific calculator result, so the evidence remains tied to the selected school.
