Self Paced Safeguarding Training Now Available in Monitor
We’re excited to introduce on-demand Academy training, now available for all Linewize Monitor users.
Designed to support busy school teams, Academy gives your staff flexible, on-demand access to essential training - so they can build confidence in using Monitor, understand alerts, and respond effectively in their own time.
Whether you’re onboarding new staff or refreshing existing knowledge, Academy helps ensure a consistent, school-wide approach to safeguarding.
Next step: Encourage your safeguarding and wellbeing teams to explore Academy and start building confidence in Monitor today.
New and Improved Monitor Guide Out Now!
We’ve reworked and expanded our Monitor Guide for Schools to better support schools at every stage - from initial setup through to day-to-day safeguarding. With enhanced guidance on configuration, alert management, roles and responsibilities, and responding to risk, the new guide helps schools move from simply receiving alerts to taking informed, effective action.
Whether you’re new to Monitor or looking to optimise your current setup, this updated guide provides the clarity, structure, and practical tips needed to strengthen student safety outcomes and make the most of your student monitoring investment.
Claim Student Improvement: Release Functionality
Classroom Manager
We’re introducing further improvements to the new Claim Student in Classroom Manager, giving teachers and administrators greater flexibility when managing shared learning environments. Staff can now release a student from one active class to another, supporting co-teaching, specialist programs, and behaviour management scenarios. After release, the original class teacher retains monitoring only access while the student becomes available to be claimed by another active class.
Improvements to Monitor "Clear all devices" Function
Monitor
We’ve improved the Clear All Devices functionality in Monitor, making it faster and easier for admins to manage device lists. Admins can now remove all devices from the table in a single action, without needing to manually clear multiple pages of results - reducing effort and helping ensure outdated or decommissioned devices are removed efficiently. Please note, this action only removes devices from the list view and does not uninstall Monitor. Any active device will automatically reappear when it reconnects.
Term 3 Webinar - Classroom Manager; Minimise Distraction, Maximise Learning
Classroom Manager
In this 30-minute session, we’ll share tips, demos, and best practices to help teachers reduce distractions, support student engagement, and get more from their digital classrooms, including an introduction to Academy learning resources.
Improved Visibility for Filter Re-Categorisation Requests
Linewize Filter
We’re improving the way we communicate updates on Linewize Filter re-categorisation requests. In the coming weeks, you'll receive automated email notifications when:
- a content re-categorisation request has been submitted
- a request has been approved
- a request has been declined
This means you'll have better visibility and be better informed throughout the process. If you have any questions or need further assistance regarding a re-categorisation request, please continue to contact our Support team, who will be happy to help.
New Qustodio Alert Severity Levels Help Parents Prioritise What Matters
Qustodio
Qustodio now includes alert severity levels, helping parents quickly identify which activity requires their immediate attention. Based on the type of alert and the child’s age group, severity indicators provide clearer context across the timeline, email notifications, and push alerts - making it easier for parents to stay informed and respond appropriately.
Monitor Update: Enhanced Alert Categories
Monitor
In the coming week we’ll be updating Monitor alert categories to improve clarity, reporting, and response to student risk. Your current alerting profiles will continue to work, with new categories mapped automatically. More information to come shortly.

Looksmaxxing: What parents need to know...
Looksmaxxing is an online trend focused on improving appearance through grooming, fitness, and “self-optimisation.” Risks include unrealistic beauty standards, body image concerns, and exposure to harmful advice or extreme behaviours.
