June 21, 2011
LONDON, UK – 21 June 2011 – CensorNet, a leading developer of powerful web and email filtering solutions, and Douglas Stewart EDU, a specialist education distributor, have formally announced an exclusive European partnership and a strategy to broaden their reach within education.
This new partnership is designed to generate awareness and promote CensorNet’s technology within the education channel and to provide schools with the tools to control cyber-bullying and protect school children from harmful influences on the Internet.
Thousands of pupils receive threats and hateful messages every single day and research has revealed that up to one in five pupils have experienced bullying via the internet. CensorNet addresses the growing concern of young people in education accessing unsuitable and offensive material on the Internet in a powerful, reliable and cost-effective way. With CensorNet, control over the Internet is given back to the school, providing a highly effective solution at as low as £2 per student.
“CensorNet has recognised the critical need for schools to have access to this type of technology as it plays a vital role in improving how schools manage the internet and protect their students“, added Tim Lloyd, Censornet’s UK Managing Director. “We do this by providing educators with the tools to police large school networks and monitor students’ online activities.”
Douglas Stewart EDU will be educating the reseller channel in the UK on CensorNet’s solutions on its value to their education customers. Douglas Stewart EDU will also be contacting schools in the UK to introduce CensorNet’s technology and how at as little as £2 per student, the comprehensiveness of the tools and the fact they are easily administers.
“We are very excited to add CensorNet to our product portfolio as it furthers our commitment to provide tools applicable for our resellers who focus on the education sector", said Lori Mercier, Managing Director, Douglas Stewart EDU. “We feel we understand the needs of schools and have extensive experience in taking software with tangible benefits to the education market.”
