The managed policy system will make auto-updates to our keyword libraries seamless, ensuring that schools are always up to date with the latest safeguarding terms, based on our ongoing exhaustive research."

Version 6 also adds a new managed policy system that "enables the automated delivery and management of keyword library updates into the future," according to Impero. "A series of enhancements has also been made to the notification functionality of captured keywords, which is designed to improve efficiency and effectiveness."
