New DFE Guidelines

[ICT_GUY]

I have only briefly looked over the requirements.

 

Anyhow. We use RM safetynet which is looking more and more antiquated as time goes on. Yes it does a good job of filtering. However the alert system is a hell of a mess.

 

As an example, if you include pornography on the alerts you get bombarded with false alerts due to ad farms being on the list. So either you don't monitor for pornography or you spend your entire day sifting through false positives. Hardly what you want either way.

 

So my question is, what are other primary schools using, what do you recommend, and what sort of costs and setup am I looking at?
