Securly Filter – Securly’s cloud-based web filter designed exclusively for use in schools – is now recognised as an accredited filtering system by the UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC).
Web filtering and monitoring services play an integral role in maintaining students’ online safety and security in schools. As such, a comprehensive accreditation process is essential. This ensures there is a credible, robust, and transparent benchmark against which schools can assess a filtering solution’s suitability.
Who is The UK Safer Internet Centre?
The UK Safer Internet Centre helps schools to audit their current web filtering provision, make informed buying decisions, and review market solutions. Formed of three charities – Childnet, Internet Watch Foundation and SWGfL – they work to identify threats and harm online.
Aligning with The Department for Education’s statutory ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance, UKSIC aims to support schools in assessing their wider online safety policies and practices. As this pertains to web filtering, the UKSIC accreditation ensures that:
- Access to illegal content is blocked
- Protection from inappropriate online content is effectively managed
- Providers’ privacy and data retention policies are outlined and transparent
- Online access is not unreasonably restricted
UKSIC are also the coordinator of Safer Internet Day in the UK.
