Digital Monitoring gives you real-time sight of what students are doing, saying or sharing that may indicate they are in harm's way, or at risk of harming others.
Filtering alone is not enough
Filtering stops students from accessing harmful content. But it doesn't show you risks revealed in what they are typing or sharing beyond the search bar. For example, in emails, in Chats, to chatbots, in documents, in spreadsheets and on forums.
Monitoring bridges that gap - alerting you to signs of harm, distress, or intent within minutes of them occurring. And, in the case of Smoothwall Monitor, this happens with full human-moderated, contextualisation that removes false positives, and enables you to intervene fast and appropriately.

As a DSL, your ability to see online risks can mean the difference between a fast and successful intervention and a dangerous escalation. Other safeguarding tools like filtering are essential for blocking harmful content but can’t show risks beyond the search bar. That’s where digital monitoring comes in.
How monitoring will detect risks you may currently be missing
You'll learn how it works and hear real-life stories of student whose lives have been changed, enhanced and saved through monitoring.
Why eyes and ears aren't enough
You'll learn about the online locations and behaviours that commonly reveal students at risk, and see for yourself why eyes and ears are insufficient.
How other FE colleges are transforming student safety with monitoring
Safeguarding leaders with monitoring know that it is game changing. You'll hear about their experiences and see how it could benefit your own FE community.
Hi my name is Sean Lazenby and I've been helping FE safeguarding leaders successfully implement monitoring for many years.
I can show you how it works, answer any questions as well as share the life changing impact it has had in other FE environments.
