"Online safety in schools plays such a critical role and is way beyond a simple technology box sale, given the rapid-moving nature of the internet combined with an audience which is curious and impressionable..."
Colin Stevens, Network Manager at Canberra Girls’ Grammar School
Educational establishments have a unique dual role to play in the development of young minds. First and foremost they have a duty of care for every child. Second, they must provide teaching that exploits all available resources.
As the proliferation of the internet continues it brings good and bad information within the reach of every child; and with schools catering for a mixture of ages, simple stopping and blocking is no longer an option. For instance, a website may contain content that would be unsuitable for viewing by younger pupils, while older students may have a legitimate learning need to access the same materials. Clearswift's content-based policies and dynamic web categorisation ensures that individuals have access to appropriate content.
And, in a learning environment, content-based inspection capabilities also monitor web and email traffic for bullying and other examples of anti-social behaviour.
Clearswift enables education to focus on teaching.
