Bring parents into the conversation with Qustodio
Whether it's a formal session with an expert provider like ySafe or an informal school presentation, engaging parents strengthens online safety at home and school.
Keep the momentum going by showcasing regular content from your Online Safety Hub. No set cadence yet? Our Online Safety Communication Plan can help!
Haven't launched Qustodio yet? It's already included in your Linewize Connect offer, giving parents the tools to partner with you to keep students safe online. Contact your Customer Success Manager to plan your parent launch in Term 4.
Are your staff ready to respond to an online incident?
Any staff member, whatever their role, could be the first to receive a report of online harm. A clear, accessible incident response procedure helps everyone respond and escalate correctly, so risks are managed quickly and harm is minimised.
The Online Safety Hub's Effective Incident Response Training resource puts this into practice with realistic scenarios that show how small details can change the right response. Try having small groups work through each scenario against your school's procedures, then share their insights with the wider team.
New Qustodio Monthly Premium Pricing
Go further with Qustodio Premium... for around the price of a large cup of coffee, your parents can unlock all of the extended features included in Qustodio Premium. Most importantly, Premium lets families protect an unlimited number of devices, so every phone, tablet and computer in the household can be covered, not just the school device.
Why not encourage your parents to try Premium for themselves? Starting a trial is easy: they simply select any Premium feature from within their Qustodio app or online account, and they'll be guided through the rest.
Custom View & Quick Access Toolbar (Teacher interactive tools)
Classroom Manager

SUMMARY: Apple has made a change in macOS 27 that removes rosetta from ARM devices when macOS 27 is installed, our clients wont work until rosetta is installed again.
DETAIL: macOS 27 removes Rosetta 2 during the upgrade, for Apple Silicon Macs M1 & later (Intel Macs are unaffected) Linewize Filter, Monitor and Classroom Manager will not work as expected. Ensure your Linewize Connect and/or Smoothwall Monitor macOS clients are up to date, then deploy our Rosetta 2 reinstall script via your MDM. The script also restores protection on devices that may have already been upgraded. Follow the steps for Linewize Filter or Smoothwall Monitor.
Monitor's New & Updated Safeguarding Categories are now live
Monitor
Monitor’s updated safeguarding categories are now live for ALL Monitor customers. These changes are designed to make risks easier to identify, prioritise and report - particularly high-risk areas such as suicide, school violence, racism and hate speech, and CSAM/CSEA. You’ll see some new and renamed categories in your Monitor dashboard. We recommend taking a quick look at your Alerting Profiles to make sure they reflect how you want the new alert categories to be managed. Check out the "read more" link below to watch our brief overview video.
New in Linewize Filter: URL Mods
Linewize Filter
URL Mods give you finer control over online content without blocking whole sites. Working alongside Content Mods, they quietly adjust URLs in the background to steer students away from distracting content. The first release includes YouTube Shorts and YouTube Playables redirects, which send students to the YouTube home page instead, so YouTube stays available for learning. More URL Mods are on the way. URL Mods are available now in Chrome Extension v4.0.5 and work on Chrome and Companion Mode.
Content Modification - Quizlet AI
Linewize Filter
Quizlet's new AI chatbot can give students answers to test and quiz questions, including Quizlet's own quizzes. A new Content Mod in Linewize Filter now lets you hide the chatbot, so students keep using Quizlet as a genuine learning tool. You'll find it in your existing Content Modifications list. It's available for schools using the Chrome Extension or Companion Mode for Windows, so make sure you're on the latest Chrome Extension version.
Monitor's Schedule Menu Update
Monitor
Schedules have a new home. You can now create and update schedules directly from the Schedule page in Monitor. This option has been removed from the Admin Panel, so there's no more switching between the two. Editing is limited to users with the existing Schedule Admin role, so no new roles are needed.
