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.
