Ranger Guardian helps guard against paedophiles, cyber bullies and inappropriate behaviour.
- Cyber bullying and cries for help occur in several unexpected applications, such as MSN Messenger, e-mail or
Microsoft Word. These are often unmonitored or subject only to random checks. Traditional blocking and filtering systems are not enough to prevent exposure to these very realdangers. Ranger Guardian can help solve these problems.
- Ranger Guardian is designed to protect your school, teachers and pupils from malicious and threatening activity - from inside and outside the school gates. It monitors all of your computers and automatically alerts you to harmful situations - so you can take action straightaway.
Protect against:
| predator grooming |
bullying |
racism |
| pornography |
abusive language |
religious hatred |
| weapons |
drugs |
hacking |
- Identify risk - Ranger Guardian monitors text in every application - regardless of source - and lists every website visited. It identifies incidents of bullying and uncovers 'confessional' communications buried in Word, MSN and e-mail communications.
- Protect your pupils - Ranger Guardian minimises the risk of serious abuse, providing evidence to meet 'Every Child Matters' requirements.
If inappropriate activity is detected, Ranger Guardian captures a screenshot and automatically sends it to the administrator for immediate action.
- Transform behaviour - Ranger Guardian acts as a powerful deterrent. It increases on-task activity and teaches students to behave in a more responsible way. Teachers' morale is boosted, as eveidence of off-task activity is reviewed outside the classroom and confrontations in class are reduced.
- Limit liability - Ranger Guardian can reduce the risk of litigation, by reducing exposure to adverse incidents, deterring PC violations and helping identify perpetrators.
- Instant reports - Ranger Guardian captures a screenshot of
any inappropriate activity and records the time, date, user name, PC name and offending word or phrase. Administrators can customise libraries with additional words and phrases or adapt the severity coding according to pastoral concerns.
To allow for quick and easy management, Ranger Guardian ranks violations by severiity, top violators and top phrases. Potentially life-treatening violations can trigger SMS or voicemail messages or pop-up alerts to senior staff - calling for instant attention.
- Control and monitor Web access - A Web log allows administrators to instantly check new Internet sites accessed, so that unsuitable sites can be blocked, as necessary. All visted websites are logged, providing evidence of off-task activities.
- Monitor laptop activity - Any misuse that place on a
PC that is disconnected from the network or taken out ofschool is automatically recorded and reported as so on as the PC is re-connected to the network.
- Pastoral care - By identifying those children suffering serious psychological and emotional problems and providing crucial evidence of their circumstances, timely action can be taken by staff, parents, Social Services or health professionals.
