TrendShield reviews public online sources, identifies issues that may affect pupils, and turns them into a short briefing with evidence and recommended actions.
It does not monitor pupils, devices, private accounts or school networks.
Springfield Academy · DSL Dashboard · Monday 24 June
Illustrative demo data — all school names, figures and trends shown are fictional examples.
Each briefing covers the small number of online issues most relevant to your school's age range that week.
The school remains responsible for deciding whether action is required.
Each feature supports a specific part of the safeguarding team's workflow. None of them require IT support or technical training.
Each identified issue is assigned a risk level. Alerts indicate which items may need prompt attention, supporting — not replacing — professional judgement.
A short, human-reviewed document sent each Monday. Covers the most relevant online issues, new slang terms, and suggested considerations for your school's age range.
A searchable record of approved items. Each entry includes platform, age relevance, confidence level, and the basis for the risk assessment.
Shows where identified issues are being reported across UK regions. Based on aggregated public signals, not school-specific monitoring.
Staff can log concerns directly into the platform. Submissions are kept within your school's account and are not shared externally.
When a high-priority item is published, the platform can notify your team by email. Notifications are school-controlled and can be adjusted at any time.
Alerts help safeguarding teams distinguish between issues that may require prompt review and those that can simply be noted. Risk levels are intended to support professional judgement, not replace it.

Illustrative demo data — all trends, figures and timings shown are fictional examples.
These are factual statements about how the platform works. We aim to be transparent about what TrendShield does and does not do.
The platform is built and run in the United Kingdom. All data is processed in the UK.
The platform does not collect, store or process personal data about children, families or pupils.
All research is drawn from publicly available content. Private messages, accounts, devices and networks are not accessed.
Built specifically for DSLs, deputy DSLs, headteachers and trust safeguarding leads.
AI-generated analysis is reviewed and approved before being published to school dashboards. The school decides what to act on.
Schools review and control their own briefings and alerts. TrendShield does not communicate directly with parents or students.
The pilot is designed to test whether the weekly briefing and supporting evidence are genuinely useful in a real school safeguarding workflow. Access is at no cost during the pilot period.
