Free Digital Safeguarding Checklist for Children’s Homes

Be ready for the online safety questions before the inspector asks them.

Ofsted inspectors are trained to ask exactly how your home keeps young people safe online. Who is responsible for filtering and monitoring? When was it last reviewed? How do you know it works?

Our free checklist puts every requirement on two pages, so you can see at a glance what is in place and what needs attention before your next inspection.

What is inside

The checklist covers twenty seven points across six areas:

  • Governance and accountability
  • Secure WiFi, including individual profiles for each young person
  • Filtering and monitoring, including Internet Watch Foundation requirements
  • Devices and mobile phones, including consoles and smart TVs
  • Data protection and UK GDPR
  • Incidents and the evidence to have ready for inspection

Each point is a simple tick box. Anything left unticked is a clear priority action for your home.
