Safeguarding
Monitoring Services with LGfL-SENSO
Meet DfE obligations around appropriate monitoring with this proactive technical system - get contextual alerts for concerning pupil behaviour, communications or access.
Monitoring
There is an expectation on schools, as per KCSIE and the DfE standards, that you have both filtering and monitoring systems in place.
Unlike filtering, monitoring is not just about websites, and it isn't about blocking things. Instead, it gives you context on pupil online behaviour across all applications and devices. This helps safeguarding teams to see the journey a user has been on, with information on what they have typed, visited and read, in order to highlight concerning behaviour, communication or access that requires a safeguarding response.
If you know WHY and WHAT happened, then it is much easier to keep children safe.
We are delighted to to partner with market-leading provider SENSO to offer 2 monitoring services!
Unmanaged Monitoring
This automated system captures concerning keystrokes from all devices and applications. The information is fed into a user-friendly portal for school staff to examine and process. Senso can even be integrated with CPOMS and My Concern, saving you time on safeguarding report
LGfL-Senso unmanaged monitoring software is included for FREE to the majority of LGfL schools adding even more savings to your Let’s Get Digital Broadband subscription.
If you want access to any other Senso products (e.g. classroom management, thumbnails and live screens) then you can request a quote via the link at the top of this page.

With the managed monitoring service, schools retain access to the same state-of-the-art portal that is available in the unmanaged monitoring service all the captures and contextual information, but in addition to this a dedicated team screens all captures to remove false positives, sends medium alerts to the DSL for review, and picks up the phone to school whenever there is a critical or urgent concern that needs immediate attention.

More about SENSO - linguistics
SENSO is an innovative monitoring provider which is well-known in the market for its approach to safeguarding technologies. One feature in which it is really leading the way is linguistics.
The Nottingham-based company has been a trailblazer working with university linguistics researchers who design complex models to spot the warning signs of a safeguarding concern. SENSO works with these academics to process and analyse vast amounts of language data to identify trends which AI alone (and yes, they use that too!) cannot.
