Nemo Vista School District

We deployed the technology for no cost for a few months, through Linewize's Student Safety Audit. This allowed us to properly learn about human moderated digital monitoring without any financial risk.

A key factor for us was not wanting our students under constant surveillance. That didn’t feel right. But that’s not how digital monitoring works. It only becomes active if a student types something that indicates they’re in danger or at risk, or becoming vulnerable.

We don’t have to spend hours trawling through endless alerts to find the serious ones. Linewize Monitor does that for us. The human moderators email us only for serious alerts and if it’s a very serious alert, they phone us. In a busy working day that is exactly the kind of proactive support we needed.

Within days we were notified of incidents we would never have seen without it.

Then we received some level 5 alerts. One of which was so severe I can’t disclose it, but it was enough for our Principal to fully commit to having this form of technology on a permanent basis.

I would say it is a vital form of student protection. But it has to work within your school. Make sure your solution doesn’t just send you a ton of alerts all day and every day.

Make sure the provider has a team of humans who will separate the serious risks from the not so serious ones and make you aware of what you need to see. This shouldn’t add to your workload or your stress levels. It should be something you truly value.

We happily pay for Linewize Monitor. It’s that important.
