Our aim is always to help safeguard school communities through our specialist services, comprehensive training programme and bespoke consultancy - all tailored to keep children and young people safe in education. We also recently organised online safety events in Birmingham and Stafford in preparation for Safer Internet Day.

To further support the safeguarding agenda, here is the Link2ICT Online Safety Newsletter for Spring 2019 packed with the latest updates and information.

We have created two new videos which were premiered at the recent online safety events which look at two great examples of schools successfully demonstrating and implementing an online safety strategy to ensure the highest standard of safeguarding for their community.

In this edition, our Senior Education Advisor greets 2019 by looking forward to the new Ofsted Framework in the Link2ICT blog, we bring you exciting events for the Spring term from online safety to our annual conference, highlight the equally important and essential layer of safeguarding services we have to comprehensively protect your data and systems, launch the new and improved support portal, introduce Smoothwall RADAR - still the great monitoring software but with a new name, announce our new partnership with Google Education where you are invited to get going with Google in your school, give you an insight into just how busy we were in the Autumn term, plus there's our regular online safety and MIS updates and much more, not forgetting those all-important dates for your diary.
