Why review compliance in this area?
Keeping pupils safe online is a statutory responsibility for all schools, and filtering and monitoring is a core part of that duty. The Department for Education’s Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance expects schools to have appropriate systems in place. A regular, evidence-led review can highlight gaps that may otherwise go unnoticed, even when current systems appear to be working. This review helps schools consider whether their provision aligns with current expectations and where further investigation may...
How the indicative review works
This page forms part of an indicative calculator tool. The review begins by capturing information about your school’s current estate, pupil numbers and existing arrangements. It then compares that information against Benchmark assumptions used for the review, such as expected per-pupil costs or typical service features for schools of a similar size and phase.

What to do with the review output
Once you have the indicative comparison, the recommended next step is to discuss it with your safeguarding lead, IT provider or internal procurement team. You can use the output to ask specific questions of your current supplier or to compare alternative provision. Because the final suitability and cost of any solution depends on your exact requirements, contract terms and supplier pricing, this should always be followed by a formal review and, where appropriate, a competitive process.
Common questions
What is this review?
It is an indicative comparison of your school’s current filtering and monitoring provision against benchmark expectations. It helps identify areas where your arrangements may be stronger or where further investigation is recommended.
Does this review guarantee a saving?
No. The output is indicative only, and any potential change in cost depends on your current contracts, exact requirements and final supplier confirmation. It should be used as a guide, not a guaranteed figure.
What information do I need to complete the review?
You will need an understanding of your current solution, approximate pupil numbers and any known contract end dates. Where exact data is missing, the tool will note this so you can gather it later.
