Set up a Safety Net in Linewize Community

Community’s Safety Net feature lets your school set a base filtering policy for student’s school-managed devices when they are under Parental Controls. Safety Net ensures compliance with your school's essential filtering policies and lets parents and guardians set rules for device use outside school hours.

For Safety Net to work, a parent or guardian must accept Parental Controls before their Qustodio rules can be applied to the school-managed device when the student is not at school.

Before you begin

1. Set your Outside School Hours and School Calendar in School Manager.
2. Deploy Linewize Connect for Windows on students’ school-managed Windows devices.
3. Deploy Linewize Connect for Chrome and Qustodio on students’ school-managed Chromebooks.
