More InformationIf your organization is using paper-based digital safety records, you will be at a significant disadvantage when it comes to sharing and reporting on student safety issues during lockdown. To help you make this important transition to digital, Smoothwall is offering our Record Manager free of charge to the end of the school year.
Requiring no on-premise software, set up is simple and quick. Schedule an online tutorial at a date and time of your choosing and one of our experts will walk you through how it works and the steps needed to convert your paper files to a digital system.

If you have schools with no technology in place to support remote learning, and provided they use Chromebooks and Google Classroom, we will provide Classroom Manager to them free of charge. This will extend until the end of the school year.
Used in conjunction with Google hangouts, Smoothwall Classroom Manager will help your teachers to take control and improve outcomes in a remote learning scenario.

Requiring no on-premise software, set up is simple and quick. It will allow your schools to see browsing activity and identify children who may be at risk – children who may otherwise go unnoticed.
