E-Safety - Protecting Your School
As part of their wider duty of care schools are required to ensure that children and young people are able to use the internet and related communications technologies safely and appropriately. Technology such as firewalls and filtering and monitoring software are an important aspect of safeguarding the school's computer networks. [Becta 2007]
Parago alerts the administrator of any newly installed software on PC's at school or home on a daily basis. This includes PC's not even connected to the school network. This is because Parago is an internet based product that monitors and sends information to the school account via the web.
An ideal solution for monitoring PC's under Laptops for Teachers and Computers for Pupils!
