Creative and Compliant Social Media Support

Effortless Compliance for Schools

Meet Ofsted & GDPR Standards

Practical compliance support for schools and child-focused organisations, aligned to Ofsted, GDPR and safeguarding requirements.

Does your school tick all the compliance boxes online?

Most schools want to communicate well and stay compliant, but between Ofsted requirements, GDPR obligations and safeguarding responsibilities, it's easy for things to slip.

Website missing statutory information required by Ofsted.
No clear photo and video use policy.
Staff posting content without a media consent process.
Old or unsigned consent forms that wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.
Limited time.

The challenge isn’t effort.
It’s trying to fit communication around everything else you already do.
A clear structure simply makes it manageable.

Does this sound familiar?

You're not sure if your school website meets Ofsted's statutory requirements
Your media consent forms haven't been updated in years
Staff are sharing content online without a clear policy to follow
You've had a parent complain about a photo shared on social media
You know you need proper policies, but haven't had time to write them
An inspection is coming, and you're not confident that everything is in order

DONE WITH YOU

Custom Policy Writing

Templated policies leave gaps. Clauses written for other organisations, language that doesn't match your context, and risks that only surface under scrutiny.

Custom policy writing solves that. You get a full consultation to understand your setting, a bespoke policy drafted around your operations and regulatory framework, and a final document ready for staff, leadership, and inspectors.

DONE FOR YOU

Ofsted Website Compliance Audit

Most school websites fall short somewhere. Missing information, outdated SEND details, policies that haven't been refreshed, or gaps that quietly build up over time. You won't always know until it's flagged.

An Ofsted Website Compliance Audit gives you clarity. You get a full review of your website against the current statutory checklist, a clear report showing what's compliant and what isn't, and a prioritised action list so you know exactly what to fix first.

DO IT YOURSELF

Downloadable Policy Templates

Writing policies from scratch takes time you don't have. But pulling something off a generic templates site often means hours of rewriting to make it fit your setting, and the nagging worry that something important is missing.

Downloadable Policy Templates give you a head start. You get professionally written templates designed specifically for schools, structured around current statutory expectations, and ready to adapt to your setting. Clear language, sensible structure, and the confidence that the foundations are right.

Some Questions previous clients had when choosing a Compliance service

What does an Ofsted website compliance audit include?

We check your school website against the statutory requirements set out by Ofsted and the DfE, including governance information, curriculum details, safeguarding policies, SEND information and contact details. You receive a clear PDF report showing what's in place and what needs attention.

How do I know if our school website is Ofsted compliant?

The DfE publishes a statutory list of what must appear on a school website. Many schools have gaps without realising, often around governor information, curriculum content or accessibility statements. Our audit checks everything against this list and flags any issues clearly.

Can schools use photos of pupils on social media?

Yes, provided valid parental consent is in place and images are used appropriately. Photos should avoid full names, sensitive context or identifying information and must comply with your school's image use policy. Our policy templates and consent management service ensure this is handled correctly.

What policies does a school need for social media?

At a minimum, schools should have a Photo and Video Use Policy, a Staff Social Media Conduct Policy and a process for managing media consent. Many schools also benefit from Pupil Digital Behaviour Guidelines. We can provide templates or write fully tailored policies for your setting.

How long does it take to get a compliance audit report?

PDF audit reports are typically delivered within 5 working days of your order. If you add a follow-up call, this is booked at a time that suits you.

Do you work with academies and MATs as well as maintained schools?

Yes. Our compliance services are suitable for primary schools, secondary schools, academies and multi-academy trusts. Policies and audits are tailored to your specific setting and governance structure.
