Login and navigation
In order to log in, you'll need to firstly have a USO account, and then be set up as a Nominated Contact. Once you're set up, you can access SchoolProtect.
To find out who your school's nominated contacts are for LGfL (usually your head teacher and others), you'll need to be on the LGfL network and then access the LGfL Support site. The specific page for this information is not publicly available, so you'll need to be logged in to view it.
When you're logged in to SchoolProtect (consider bookmarking this for ease of future access), you'll be greeted with the homepage. From here you can access everything you need.
In the top right, you will see
- A sign post icon. This will be to select the establishments. Some NC's (Nominated Contacts) support multiple schools, so it's always crucial to ensure you're looking at the correct establishment.
- A headset icon. This is how you can raise a support ticket.
- A tickbox icon. This is how you access 'Am I Filtering' - a tool to test whether filtering is active on your devices. This is really helpful for problem solving and also completing regular chicks as required in the DfE Standards.
In the menu along the top left of the screen, you will find buttons to access your policies (home to URLs, Bundles, Categories etc), reports (home to Dashboard, Reporting etc), system info (home to Category Definitions, System URL bundles etc), and more.
In order to logout, you simply need to click by your name (top right), then the logout button.
