Social Media Check
To meet the KCSIE guidelines for online checks for recruitment, MATs need an efficient and cost-effective tool that ensures vetting is compliant and robust.
Social Media Check (SMC) is a fully automated solution that can check both public and private posts against a number of risk categories, returning an auditable report within the hour. SMC searches all posts across the major social media platforms using machine learning and algorithms, eliminating the need for manual searching or the possibility of unconscious bias. Social media checks can only be made with the consent of an individual, making it GDPR compliant.
Many MATS and schools are already using SMC. Visit our stand and register for your free report.

For safety, it is essential to have a lockdown system. With Bodet Time’s Harmonys range, an alert can be sent, informing of the lockdown, or other emergencies, protecting pupils and staff.
Bodet Time’s microphones broadcast customisable messages to individual classes, rather than multiple zones. When a person is needed, why spend time rushing around when the message can be sent directly.
