What our filtering solution covers
Keeping Pupils Safe Online
Under Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE), schools have a legal duty to filter and monitor internet use. In4ra implements and manages solutions that meet these requirements — giving your DSL the visibility and control they need.
Our filtering and monitoring solutions are designed to be effective without being disruptive — blocking harmful content while keeping legitimate educational resources fully accessible.
