Smoothwall is thrilled to announce our new partnership with the Multi Academy Trust Association (MATA), joining forces to support over 600 trusts across England.
Encompassing a thriving community of MAT leaders, MATA is dedicated to supporting trusts by creating invaluable opportunities for their members to collaborate, learn and grow. Both current and aspiring MAT leaders can gain access to a range of valuable resources and events with MATA membership - and it’s free to join.
Smoothwall has been working with MATs for over a decade. Valued clients include Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South, Unity Schools Partnership, Greenshaw Learning Trust and Northern Education Trust, to name just a few.
Our market-leading digital safeguarding and wellbeing solutions are designed with MATs’ unique challenges in mind, and we’ve empowered over 350 trusts to overcome issues such as scalability to achieve the highest level of digital protection for their academies. From this experienced vantagepoint we recognise the importance and integrity of the work MATA does.
Commenting on the exciting news, Smoothwall’s Executive VP (EMEA), Gavin Logan explained:
“This powerful partnership will enable us to advance our shared missions to drive excellence in multi-academy trusts, keep children safe and happy in their digital lives and set a new standard for digital safeguarding.”
Smoothwall is committed to ensuring that MATs can establish consistent digital safeguarding provisions across their sites that meet, and often exceed, the standards set by UK legislation. Partnering with MATA allows us to continue these efforts in direct collaboration with those at the heart of UK education. We look forward to seeing what this exciting partnership brings.
