Online safety for students is increased through the introduction of Saasyan's new Parent Portal.
Saasyan, a leading provider of AI-powered student safety solutions, has launched a new Parent Portal for schools in Australia. The tool is designed to support the creation of safer learning environments, both in and outside of school hours.
The Parent Portal is now available to schools across the country, helping them meet national online safety standards, including the Online Safety Act 2021. With today's students spending more time online than ever for learning, socialising, and entertainment, the increased online time comes with growing risks such as exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, screen overuse, and disrupted sleep.
The Parent Portal offers a range of key features and benefits to help manage these risks. It provides a clear, easy-to-use dashboard for families to set simple limits around internet use, manage internet access during specific times, such as homework hours or overnight, and offers strong privacy protections for student data.
The portal empowers parents by giving them direct insight and control over their children’s online safety, fostering cooperation between home and school environments. It enables schools to keep track of students' online activities to identify and intervene in potential safety risks early.
The system is designed to be accessible for parents and school administrators, facilitating user-friendly communication and management of online safety protocols. It supports safer and more balanced screen use at home by reinforcing the expectations already in place at school regarding screen use.
The Parent Portal is intended for schools, IT and wellbeing teams, parents, and carers. It mirrors school-set boundaries for consistent messaging and helps schools meet their obligations under the Online Safety Act 2021.
Greg Margossian, Founder and Managing Director of Saasyan, stated that the Parent Portal gives families a better view into their child's digital life. "The tool supports safer and more balanced screen use at home," he said.
The Parent Portal is accessible to authorized guardians only, providing a practical way for parents to support the healthy habits students are encouraged to build in the classroom. It aims to help families guide healthier digital habits at home, fostering co-creation and shared responsibility in online safety management.
This platform aligns with broader trends of integrating technology solutions in education for safeguarding students, supporting constructive dialogue among stakeholders, and promoting a safer digital environment. The rollout of this Parent Portal reflects Saasyan's commitment to advancing student safety by leveraging technology to create collaborative governance between schools and families.
