e-Safety: Every Child Matters

Every Child Matters

Were you aware that your ICT provision could be being used to assist child grooming, cyber bullying, cyber stalking and not to mention inappropriate/illegal activities?

Did you also know that up to 40% of the inappropriate activities that go on would never get picked up by your Internet Filtering solution?

Did you realise that up to 39% of your ICT provision could be being used so that your students could be talking to non CRB checked strangers?

Zentek have identified these issues and have devised our eSAFE™ methodology to help you to monitor and address these problems. We are already working with a number of schools and Local Authorities to address and curtail these very worrying findings.

Whilst you may think that you are being protected by your current Internet Filtering, you are almost certainly are not! So far, with our work in the UK, Europe and Middle East, we have found only one Internet Filtering Solution that came anywhere close to tracking and blocking these issues. However, that was only 80% efficient, in a country that controlled ALL internet access through one solution - using people to monitor what other people were doing.

Therefore, you have to look at a way of addressing the issues on a real time basis, combined with a strategy that encourages behaviour change and restrictions in the event of non compliance. After all, children are Inquisitive, Inventive, intelligent and at times, mischievous but as we all know that they usually adhere to rules, once they know them!

We have cost effective, scalable solutions for:

Schools
Local Authority & Regional Broadband Consortia
Parents

Our 8 step approach to protecting children:

Identify
Investigate
