LGfL delivers its Objects by focusing on:

In the light of new Department for Education standards and updates to Keeping Children Safe in Education, LGfL conducted a procurement via G-Cloud 13 (CCS RM1557.13) seeking to enter into a contractual agreement to implement an Appropriate Proactive Technical Service for Safeguarding Children in Schools to complement its safeguarding centre of excellence and tie in with its existing expertise and track record in web filtering.

The Service provides alerts to schools in line with LGfL’s functionality requirements to ensure that designated safeguarding teams are made aware of individual events and trends helping them to keep children safe online and respond in a timely fashion with informed by clear evidence that can potentially save lives. Alerts may relate to bullying or other peer-on-peer harassment or abuse, child sexual or criminal exploitation and related grooming, as well as markers of self-harm and suicide, radicalisation and a range of other key safeguarding areas

As a result of this procurement LGfL have entered into an agreement with a supplier to provide pro-active and re-active safeguarding services.

Services include but are not limited to the following;

• Automatic Safeguarding and Monitoring software technology
