Keeping Your Child Safe
At Falinge Park High School we have a web filtering and firewall tool called Smoothwall that helps to keep our students safe when using the school network. This enables the school to allow access to certain websites effectively for both staff and students. Our filtering solution is an essential tool for Safeguarding, instantly sending an alert to the IT Team and Safeguarding Team if a student searches something that may not be appropriate. Triggers that may cause an alert including such things as Bullying, Radicalisation and Self harm or Suicide.
