Schools Broadband (Talk Straight) Partnership
Fast, Safe & Reliable Internet – Built for Schools
Through our partnership with Schools Broadband (part of Talk Straight Group), we help schools access high-performance internet, built-in safeguarding, and secure network infrastructure designed specifically for education.
What Schools Broadband Provide
Connectivity Built for Schools
Fast, reliable internet designed specifically for education.
- Full fibre & leased lines
- Scalable speeds for growing schools
- Optional failover for resilience
Filtering, Monitoring & Safeguarding
Keep pupils safe online with education-focused safeguarding tools.
- Web filtering aligned with KCSiE
- Monitoring & alerting for safeguarding leads
- Supports compliance with DfE expectations
As part of their safeguarding offering, Schools Broadband can provide integration with Securus Software — a dedicated monitoring solution used widely in UK schools.
While filtering blocks inappropriate content, Securus monitors behaviour and activity, helping schools identify safeguarding concerns early.
Key features include:
- Monitoring across devices, applications, and web activity
- Alerts for risks such as bullying, self-harm, or concerning language
- Automatic incident captures with screenshots and evidence
- Notifications sent to safeguarding leads for quick action
Covers a wide range of devices:
- Windows devices
- Chromebooks
- Macs
- iPads (via secure browser / local proxy server)
This helps schools meet requirements from the UK Department for Education, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) and filtering & monitoring standards.
Haz Technology supports this by helping configure, deploy and manage the solution across your wider IT setup.
