Back to School with Senso.cloud
September is here and it’s back to school we go.
For some students it’s their first time at primary or secondary school, for others it’s a new year and new class, and for some it’s the step up from school to sixth form. Big moves, big learning.
Preparing for the Academic Year
Teachers have been working behind the scenes to create an outstanding classroom environment, fine-tuning lesson plans and preparing for an exceptional academic year. The curriculum has been studied to a fine tee, the desired classroom culture has been set, the aspirations for the year have been solidified, the groundwork has been laid and now it’s time to kick off the year with enthusiasm and a resounding bang!
So, with teachers and support staff prepped, students raring to go and the new year about to start is your school meeting the new KCSIE requirements, and do you have the correct safeguarding software in place to monitor and manage your students online this new academic year?
If the answer is no, Senso could be your answer.
Importance of Safeguarding
Senso supports thousands of schools in enhancing their safeguarding capabilities and ensuring they meet the recommended guidelines. Recognising the critical importance of safeguarding children, Senso helps schools to stay on top of device monitoring with comprehensive keyword libraries developed in partnership with expert organisations.
By leveraging advanced AI-driven visual threat analysis, Senso’s safeguarding software offers a top-level overview and reporting of violations, whether in a single or multi-site setup. This unparalleled insight into a user’s actions and behaviours enables schools to effectively monitor and address potential risks, strengthening their safeguarding efforts and maintaining a safe learning environment for all.
Alongside our own comprehensive keyword libraries, we also provide an integrated keyword library and URL list from the Internet Watch Foundation, which is updated monthly, as well an up-to-date list of URLs from the Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit. This means Senso is always monitoring for the very latest potential threats. Each keyword is also provided with a definition which beautifully takes out the guesswork of those new and improved modern-day acronyms and slang terms.
Working hand in hand with CPOMS and MyConcern, Senso makes it possible to streamline your safeguarding process by importing escalated violations directly into your CPOMS or MyConcern platform. Senso’s safeguarding dashboard gives you an overview of violations. Get a greater understanding of outstanding issues and online behaviour across one or many sites, including key data around users, devices or libraries triggering the most violations. In line with safeguarding recommendations, Senso provides a tool allowing users to anonymously report a concern about themselves or someone else electronically, with the ability to take screenshots if appropriate.
