Monitor’s new interface will roll out to all partner schools towards the end of June. To ensure a smooth transition, it’s essential that all key stakeholders are familiar with the updated user experience.

The best way for your team (especially Safeguarding staff responsible for managing and responding to Monitor alerts) up to speed is by attending the upcoming webinar (June 17) featured in this month’s Linewize Latest.
 
It’s your opportunity to see first hand what’s changing, understand the impact, and ensure your team is confident and ready from day one.

We’ve made an important improvement to the Qustodio parent experience on school-managed devices. Previously, the interface could suggest that parents were able to allow certain categories, such as Mature Content - even though these were always blocked by your school’s Linewize Filter safety settings. This update provides clearer visibility and removes that confusion, helping parents better understand how filtering works alongside your school protection on school managed devices that go home.

The change is now live in the Qustodio Parent web portal (family.qustodio.com), with updates to the parent apps rolling out over the coming weeks.

We are excited to announce the new Claim Student feature is now available, one of our most highly requested features, designed to reduce "policy chaos" by giving teachers one-click control over student policies in the classroom. 

Claim Student achieves this by ensuring only one class session is active at a time. If a student is already in another class, teachers can quickly claim them - instantly applying their own rules and removing any conflicts. This reduces disruption, eliminates confusion, and ensures a more consistent, well-managed classroom experience.

Make sure your teaching staff are aware of this update - It's a simple change that can make a BIG difference to lesson flow, reduce classroom disruptions, and give teachers greater confidence in their Classwize controls from the moment a class begins.

Pulse is removing select experience questions - particularly those relating to family finances and home environments - to keep insights focused on the student, reduce any potential discomfort, and prioritise those areas where schools can provide direct support.
