SAFEGUARDING (ONLINE SAFETY):

Keyword and phrase monitoring: The Safeguarding/Online Safety tools help you protect students from being exposed to inappropriate online content. It alerts staff when students type or search for any terms that match with those in the classroom.cloud keyword database (multiple languages supported) – providing safeguarding and internet safety indicators for self-harm, bullying, sexual and criminal exploitation, and much more.

Staff can also manage the pre-populated list in the classroom.cloud web portal and add any additional ones they feel are appropriate.

For focused monitoring of specific year groups or students considered vulnerable, you can create groups of student devices and apply specific settings to them.

Dedicated safeguarding/online safety user roles can be assigned to the required staff members and is given to classroom.cloud Administrators by default.

Reporting Concerns: Using the Safeguarding/Online Safety button on their device, students can report concerns in confidence to a trusted member of staff via the Report a Concern option.

The component also offers students who do feel vulnerable instant access to a list of relevant online resources should they want to seek external help with a particular problem or concern.

Please note: The Safeguarding (Online Safety) tools are free to use during your evaluation period and are an optional extra when you purchase classroom.cloud.
