Filtering and Monitoring Sessions
The UK Safer Internet Centre, on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE), delivered a series of online webinars on filtering and monitoring. The webinars informed schools and colleges in England about the changes to Keeping children safe in education which comes into force from September 2023 as well as the DfE’s new filtering and monitoring standards which were published in 2023.
These five, 30-minute sessions are for professionals in England working with children and young people. Specifically, they will support schools and colleges to be able to meet the filtering and monitoring standards in order to better protect children and young people online.
