Child protection
Keeping them safe and sound.
There are many aspects to child protection but we can help with all matters of child protection in ICT.
Securus
This is a fantastic award winning system that provides your first line of defense.
Once installed onto your computers Securus looks at every word as it appears on any school computer screen. It looks at web pages, text as you type it, documents you read and even emails that you send or receive. As soon as Securus spots a word that is inappropriate it takes a screen shot along with details of the computer in use, the user logged on and the date and time. This information is then filed away as a log. The clever thing is that Securus will even keep working with laptops that are being used away from the school network.
However, creating the logs is only the first part, someone has to look at all of the logs.
This is an incredibly time consuming job that needs to be carried out methodically and regularly. Beebug now offer a unique log-checking service to save you from having to do this. No other company offers this service.
We offer a weekly (£850 per annum) or monthly (£470 per annum) service where we will go through the logs and identify anything of genuine concern. We will then confidentially send appropriate information to the Head Teacher.
Beebug is an authorised partner of Securus. We can supply and install Securus for you or provide more information or a demonstration.

Confidential data
On a Beebug network each pupil and member of staff has a unique username and password.
This individual combination allows that person access to the files and programs that are appropriate to them. Due to the security of this system it is completely safe to have your Admin and Curriculum network linked together giving staff access to sensitive data that they need to do their jobs while restricting access to unauthorised users.
Find out more about our Admin Network services.
Data Protection
We take Data protection very seriously.
We recommend as part of your child protection policy to use Encrypted USB Pen Drives and install a robust Data Safe.
