Safeguarding Software (Impero EdProtect)
The Internet opens endless opportunities for learning, connecting, and socialising. But there is no denying that online safeguarding threats are a growing concern for many school leaders, and it’s imperative that students are protected from harm in the online world as they are in the physical world. When students are protected from harm, they can get the most out of the rich online learning content that is available.
Impero Education Pro gives schools the tools they need to identify students at risk, prevent exposure to inappropriate content, enforce acceptable use policies and keep students safe. The solution is cross platform and works on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS, Android and Apple iOS (for iPads etc).

You are also able to create your own keyword list which you can tailor to your individual needs.
When a keyword is detected, Impero Education Pro will take a screenshot or video of the user’s device, so that you can see what was taking place when the event was triggered. This detail along with the date and time and the student details, is logged.
Relevant staff are then notified through email, real time popups or a regularly scheduled summary report. Staff can view the student’s previous captures and internet history, along with definitions of any captured keywords, allowing relevant safeguarding activities to take place. Finally, you can record the safeguarding action taken for future reference.
The system can also be further configured to tailor the system to your individual needs such as setting different policies for different groups of students – setting higher detection standards.
