Every classroom now exists in two worlds-one physical, one digital. Teachers manage both, balancing the demands of instruction with the responsibility of keeping students safe, focused and supported across every device they use. That balance requires visibility, control and trust. Senso.cloud delivers all three. Purpose-built for primary and secondary school education, Senso is the only cloud-native platform that unifies safeguarding, classroom control and device management within a single solution. With a history of creating the very first keyword-detection software system, Senso extends this safeguarding expertise into its modern cloud-native architecture. Built from the ground up in Microsoft Azure, it provides schools with real-time visibility and control across Windows, Chrome OS, macOS and iOS devices. Schools reduce administrative workload, eliminate duplicate processes and maintain secure, policy-driven control through seamless Microsoft Intune and Azure Active Directory synchronisation. “We built Senso as a unified platform that’s harder for students or unauthorised users to bypass and easier for schools to trust,” says Jonathan Valentine, founder and CEO. “It’s safeguarding intelligence continuously monitors activity across devices, flagging potential risks such as harmful searches, concerning keywords or attempts to disable monitoring tools. Safeguarding at the Core Safeguarding is woven into the DNA of Senso’s mission. Its technology combines AI-driven detection, linguistic analysis and human insight, reinforced by partnerships with the Internet Watch Foundation and the Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit, to deliver 24/7 protection across all devices. One of Senso’s most distinctive innovations and a major point of credibility is its ongoing work in Corpus Linguistics and advanced linguistic modelling. This research underpins their multi-layered safeguarding approach, using their corpus linguistic research to inform RegEx, which produces more accurate safeguarding capabilities, ultimately helping schools identify emerging risks with greater accuracy, while maintaining compliance with key frameworks, including the Keeping Children Safe in Education, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Senso believes that safeguarding should never rely solely on AI. Through its Assisted Monitoring service, a team of former teachers, Designated Safeguarding Leads and ex-police officers review alerts continuously to ensure accurate specialist-led interpretation before escalation.

“Mom, Dad… I don’t feel so good today. I don’t want to go to school.” It’s a line most parents recognise. Yet the message beneath those words often goes unnoticed. Reluctance to attend school can signal anxiety, stress or a deeper need for support. When recognised early, these cues open the door to help long before a child reaches crisis. For BACP-accredited therapist, parent coach, author and mother, Alicia Drummond, that insight reshaped her entire career. After years of watching young people withdraw in silence while adults misread the signs, she realised the issue wasn’t children’s resilience but a lack of awareness in the environments around them. The repeated patterns across classrooms and clinics revealed the need for something beyond one-to-one therapy—a way to reach the adults shaping a child’s daily world. Teen Tips was Drummond’s way of closing that gap and ensuring no quiet cry for help goes unheard. Her philosophy was simple. “If we can tweak the environments around young people, many of them would never need therapy to begin with,” says Drummond, CEO. “Prevention is most powerful when it reaches beyond the individual. When the environments that surround kids are steady and supportive, we give them resilience for life.” That belief took shape in The Wellbeing Hub, Teen Tips’ online platform, which combines practical guidance, staff training and age-appropriate resources in one place. Its A to Z of Wellbeing includes activities from art and altruism to music and mindfulness, helping young people discover what steadies them and helps them thrive. The Wellbeing Hub’s strength lies in how naturally it fits into school life. Rather than relying on rigid lesson plans, teachers can access ready-made, evidence-based materials, including wellbeing lessons and CPD training modules, as well as expert-led Q&A guides. Because The Wellbeing Hub centralises what schools usually have to source separately— resources for staff, content for PSHE lessons, and webinars for parents—teachers save, on average, an hour and a half each week and redirect that time to supporting pupils..
