Real-Time Digital SafeGUARDING

AI-Detected, Human-Verified Digital SafeGUARDING

onGuard+ is Netsweeper’s Student Protection Solution and Safety Monitoring Service, developed to provide real-time, proactive digital safeguarding to schools and Multi-Academy Trusts. To accurately determine who’s at risk, onGuard+ uses active system monitoring, including optical character recognition, to detect user activity and send alerts if potential risks are identified. To provide realistic context, this information is then reviewed in-person for evaluation, decision-making, or intervention. Fully integrated with the core nFilter platform, onGuard+ works online and offline, scanning internet content, desktop content, and user-submitted data in real time. Plus, it records at risk activity for case tracking and escalation processing via the onGuard+ dashboard.

Helps Protect Pupils and Teachers Proactively

onGuard+ monitors, detects and alerts administrators to content related to violence, self-harm, cyberbullying, and other serious threats. As these online interactions need to be understood and contextualised by people, the solution alerts the administrator, who can further monitor these activities, intervene proactively, or choose to disregard content identified as posing no danger. By combining AI technology with human verification, false identifications and accusations can be prevented.

onGuard+ has a team of dedicated Digital Safety Monitors assess, evaluate, and escalate potentially imminent threats to student security and wellbeing. Human review of online pupil activity is easily managed by our Digital Safety Monitors, notifying school Safeguarding Leads of high-risk dangers immediately, allowing for intervention before an incident occurs.
