15 July, 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that, following exceptional growth, Tel Group has officially been promoted to Gold Partner status with Smoothwall, a leading provider of digital safeguarding solutions in education.

The achievement of being promoted to a gold partner comes after an incredible 296.5% year-on-year growth, a reflection of our unwavering commitment to protecting schools, students, and staff through smarter, safer technology.

Over the past few years, Tel Group has proudly provided Smoothwall’s digital safeguarding services to schools across the UK, helping to create safer digital environments for thousands of pupils. From content filtering to real-time monitoring and threat detection, we continue to implement Smoothwall’s powerful tools as a key part of our cyber and safeguarding strategies in education.

Recognition of Rapid Growth

“Off the back of an incredible 296.5% year-on-year growth, I’m proud to recognise Tel Group’s achievement with a well-deserved promotion to Gold Partner status at Smoothwall.

It’s been a true team effort, and this milestone is a reflection of the trust, alignment, and collaboration we’ve built together.”
– Dan Goodburn, Channel Manager at Smoothwall

This milestone is more than just a title – it solidifies the collaboration, trust, and mutual ambition between Tel Group and Smoothwall. And we’re just getting started.

Prioritising the Safety of Students 

Our relationship with Smoothwall has been built on our shared values of prioritising the safety of young people in the digital world and equipping schools with reliable, intuitive safeguarding solutions. Being recognised as a Gold Partner only reinforces our commitment to pushing that mission forward.

As schools face increasingly digital threats, having the right safeguarding infrastructure in place is now essential, and is enforced in the DfE’s Digital and Technology Standards. Smoothwall’s technology allows education providers to stay ahead of risks, remain compliant, and most importantly, protect the wellbeing of every child.

We’re incredibly proud of the team effort behind this milestone and grateful to our schools for continuing to trust us as their safeguarding partner.
