Importance of Support

Keeping children and staff safe online is a vital part of safeguarding but recognising, responding and dealing with these online issues is difficult. Online harm is prevelant and evolving and at SWGfL we provide a variety of tools, services, and products to help schools and organisations to meet the needs of staff and the young people they work with. 

Why Online Safety Training?

Statutory guidance requires annual safeguarding training for all staff that includes internet safety. And staff training can be one of the weakest links in school online safety provision, according to Ofsted. SWGfL online safety training supports school staff to meet statutory needs, whilst upskilling them on essential areas within online safety. 

Training from SWGfL also supports safeguarding staff, professionals and those who work within youth organisations, allowing for an effective approach towards such a varied topic. Learn more about our online safety training offering.

About Whisper: Anonymous Reporting

Reputation Alerts

Monitor your online reputation, and understand what children and parents are saying online about your school.

Reputation Alerts is a powerful tool to capture, track, and notify you about new online references to your school. Complaints. Unfair comments. Teacher abuse.

The tool scans social media, blogs, websites and press to let you know when you are being mentioned. It even indicates sentiment as positive or negative, and how influential the host website is, so you can easily work out what to do. It will email you immediately if it finds anything important or urgent.
