Choosing the Right Broadband Partner for Education 

 

Capita Updata is ceasing all connectivity, filtering & security services to schools by March 2024, meaning you will need to organise a replacement service.  We know for some, organising the service transfer is a daunting prospect.  Attending this webinar will prove invaluable, whoever you choose as your new provider.

 

The webinar will cover:

 

  • Your Broadband options
  • Why Safeguarding & Security is at the Heart of what we do
  • DfE and Prevent Duty compliant Safeguarding Platform to support DSLs
  • How our customers are fully protected from DDoS attacks
  • How we give you control to make web filtering changes
  • Why we have faster response & resolution times
  • How our high availability & redundant systems keep you connected 24/7/365
  • How we can support any Capita Updata early termination fees with up to 6 months free
  • Answering any of your questions

 

The lead time for a replacement service in some cases can take up to six months. Ensure you allow plenty of time when ordering to allow for a seamless transfer of service.  Schools Broadband provides services to over 2000 schools and 275 Multi Academy Trusts and is one of the most respected specialist providers of services to education.
