The importance of proactive filtering in York schools
Filtering is not a once-a-year task. Schools across York and North Yorkshire operate in a landscape where online threats evolve quickly and DfE guidance updates regularly. An evidence-led filtering review looks at more than cost; it checks that monitoring, reporting and mobile-device protections match the latest KCSIE requirements. Because school-level financial benchmarking data is currently missing, the indicative review focuses on recognised digital safety standards and supplier-neutral cost-comparison principl...
How the indicative calculator works for digital safety and filtering
The Edunet calculator is designed to give schools a provisional view of potential spend differences, not a live quote. It uses approved Edunet benchmark assumptions, such as typical per-user licence rates and service-level costs, alongside basic estate information you provide. At this time, a numeric saving cannot be displayed because supplier pricing and accurate user counts are required. For a York school, the calculator serves as a conversation starter: it highlights whether your current approach sits broadly i...
Steps to strengthen your online safety position in North Yorkshire
Before requesting a full supplier review, school leaders can take practical steps. First, ensure your filtering policy references the most recent KCSIE version and covers all school-owned and personal devices used on site. Second, check whether your current provider offers real-time visibility reports that governors and DSLs can interpret quickly. Third, consider what happens when a new risk – such as an AI-powered harmful-content site – emerges. The calculator’s indicative findings often lead schools to discuss t...
Common questions
Is the York digital safety and filtering review a full compliance audit?
No. The Edunet calculator is an indicative review tool, not a statutory audit. It highlights areas where your filtering and monitoring arrangements might be out of step with current KCSIE expectations or supplier benchmarks, helping your DSL and IT team prioritise conversations with providers.
Why can’t I see a specific saving figure for my school?
A precise saving cannot be calculated without your actual supplier contract prices, user numbers and device estate size. The low confidence reflects this missing data. Once you provide these details through the Edunet review process, a supplier-backed comparison can be prepared.
What should schools across York do next after using the calculator?
Start by discussing the indicative findings with your DSL and business manager. Then consider whether to invite two or three DfE-compliant suppliers to provide transparent pricing based on your actual numbers. Edunet can facilitate this without obligation, using its approved partner network.
Safeguarding and Filtering review for schools in York and North 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.
York 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.
