Safeguarding
Monitoring Services from LGfL Senso
Meet DfE obligations around appropriate monitoring with this proactive technical system - get contextual alerts for concerning pupil behaviour, communications or access.
Monitoring
Schools are expected, as per KCSIE and the DfE standards, to have both filtering and monitoring systems in place. LGfL provides schools with filtering via our UK Safer Internet Centre-accredited SchoolProtect and HomeProtect services, and we partner with market-leading provider Senso to offer 2 device-based monitoring services.
Through the captures generated, this data will help you to not only ensure that children receive necessary and timely support and protection for a wide range of concerns, but the insights will support you to improve your filtering, your curriculum and your policies. A significant component of your whole school approach to safeguarding.
Unmanaged Monitoring
This automated system takes screenshots of concerning keystrokes entered on devices and across all applications. These captures are then available on a user-friendly portal for DSLs to examine and process. Senso can even be integrated with CPOMS and My Concern, saving you time on safeguarding reports.
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.

Managed Monitoring
LGfL Senso's managed monitoring service uses the same great keystroke monitoring platform as in the unmanaged service, but has the significant added benefit of a team of safeguarding professionals triaging your captures and personally alerting you to anything significant - saving DSLs huge amounts of time and offering peace of mind that nothing will slip through the net.

More about Senso linguistics
Senso is an innovative monitoring provider, well-known in the market for its approach to safeguarding technologies. One feature in which it is really leading the way is through its use of linguistics.
Senso works with linguists who process and analyse vast amounts of language data to identify trends which AI alone (and yes, they use that too!) cannot. This is leading to improved detection of genuine safeguarding concerns.
