Lightspeed are trusted and proven experts in the field of content filtering and alert services. With Lightspeed, school leadership can ensure that they are doing their best to keep children safe in school, and at home.
Online Safety
The Lightspeed solutions suite gives organisations the tools to address the four main areas of risk referenced in KCSIE. Our advanced AI categorises and blocks all illegal and inappropriate content, the forum categories protect from harmful contact, read-only mode for social media limits explicit conduct, and the gambling and malware categories block all commerce.
Designated Safeguarding Leads
KCSIE requires every school and college to have a DSL and Lightspeed Alert gives them the real-time monitoring, early-warning alerts and escalation tools they need for all safeguarding issues from self-harm to violence.
Remote Learning
Lightspeed Filter uses patented Smart Agents to give schools and colleges the same KCSIE required level of filtering policies on any device and any OS remotely, as well as providing teachers with the tools they need to monitor and control remote classrooms.
Violence and Cyberbullying
Lightspeed Alert lets organisations meet the criteria against serious violence and peer-on-peer abuse (child-on-child). Alert’s real-time AI and in-house safety specialists check and review all notifications with key words related to violence or cyberbullying allowing immediate intervention.
Information Sharing
Using Alert’s notification scheduling and screenshotted timelines as well as Lightspeed Filter’s powerful, shareable reports, schools and colleges can ensure they’re proactive in information sharing in line with KSCIE’s guidance.
