Warwickshire County Council’s ICT Development Service (WCC ICTDS) manages IT systems for schools within Warwickshire. This network monitors 45,000 staff and pupils across the county, including all staff and pupils at Whitnash Primary School. WCC ICTDS uses Smoothwall Filter Solution to provide monitoring and filtering for all of its schools. Subsequently, Whitnash Primary School uses this to ensure that all members of the school community are able access online material safely. Smoothwall blocks and proactively monitors harmful or dangerous content without over blocking, ensuring that students and staff are able to continue learning whilst safely explore the internet. These meet the Government Standards for Filtering and Monitoring 2023 and the requirements of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023.
The filtering and monitoring provision is managed by the school Designated Safeguarding Lead, in line with the school safeguarding policy, and is reviewed annually.
