Making Sense of Red Flags - Interpreting Alerts

Written by Linewize Team | Jun 30, 2021 12:47:43 PM

It’s easy to sit in an office at the end of the day and worry about what your students are doing online. The only people who know what students are up these days are those young people themselves. And chances are they are not likely to knock on your door to tell you they have been accessing adult content.

Internet filters have long been a mainstay in schools and they play an important role in restricting access to inappropriate or harmful content, and the Linewize tools definitely do that. More importantly, however, they offer schools the ability to work proactively with students by providing the important information needed to guide timely and informed conversations.

Proactively support students & guide pastoral conversations

Following our Students, Sex and the Internet webinar - where we unpacked the challenges students, schools and families face around pornography - we received a number of questions from schools about the reports and red flag alerts they receive via School Manager. Toni and Pauline got together to discuss these questions, some of the issues raised in the webinar and how you can use the Linewize solution to address concerns around students accessing inappropriate content.

Below, Toni & Pauline will unpack;

  • What a red flag is and what triggers them
  • How to interpret red flag alerts
  • How to use red flags as a tool to have proactive pastoral conversations with students
