BRIGHTFILTER FOR PUPILS

Online safety for Children - Using BECTA approved software for Schools and Home

Much attention is given to child safety, particularly in the UK as highlighted in the Every Child Matters Green Paper. Particular regard needs to be given to safety on the internet. Whilst nearly all schools run a web filtering solution delivered either internally or a clean-feed via the Local Authority, none have the ability to extend their reach beyond the school and to the pupil at home.

For the School

Brightfilter is invaluable to schools providing laptops to teachers and pupils alike. Web filtering may well be provided in the school, but what happens when the pupil returns home to surf the web on their unfiltered ISP connection? Brightfilter gives the school the confidence for students to surf the web at home, safe in the knowledge that the same level of web protection is provided outside of the school gates.

For the Local Authority

Web filtering will be prevalent throughout your Authority. The Brightfilter team have been providing solutions to Local Authorities and schools for over 7 years through its N2H2 and SmartFilter URL based web filtering solutions. More recently, Brightfilter has developed a standalone, ISP-independent solution for the home user - specifically designed with children in mind and using the BECTA accredited SmartFilter URL database; this solution delivers exactly the same level of protection as is afforded within the school environment.

Brightfilter are currently working alongside a number of Local Authorities to offer a safe and trusted solution to the wider community and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss the benefits of our Brightfilter solutions with you in greater detail.
