Arabella Northey, Partnerships Manager at Seqrd Technology, explains why boarding schools can rely on innovative technology to manage student’s devices.
The DfE’s guidance for boarding schools makes it clear that schools must protect students from harmful online content on devices, but also ensure they have regular opportunities to speak with their parents.
Sometimes it feels like the safest option would be to turn back the clock and return to the days of the BT Chargecard and standing in a line beside the one pay phone. Do you remember those queues?
BUT throwing out technology does not solve the problem; it just hides it away or pushes the problem further down the line.
If you’re looking for a simple, flexible, and effective way as ‘in loco parentis’ to keep students positively engaged with technology, SchoolsMobile from Seqrd is a seamless digital solution that builds positive tech habits, not resistance and cuts down staff policing.
Why are schools switching to SchoolsMobile?
Outside of lesson and prep hours, you can allow boarders access to their devices as our solution blocks any harmful content and adds enterprise-level threat protection.
Additionally, setting access controls to social media or streaming services help students build healthier habits and budget their tech time effectively.
Safeguarding children digitally doesn’t stop at the boarding house, and we know that digital wellness is only going to work when it is a coordinated approach between home and school. SchoolsMobile stops traffic on and off the school site without compromising positive individual student online activity.
Parents can be reassured that this will bring peace of mind and not affect their child’s privacy.
