This guidance is published as part of the Computing department handbook and is held as hard copy in the Computing department. • All members of the school community should avoid looking directly into the beams of light from classroom projectors • Devices, such as projectors, will be switched off after use to avoid damage through overheating and to save energy. Computer Viruses • All files downloaded from the Internet, received via e-mail or on removable media such as a memory stick must be checked for any viruses using school provided anti-virus software before being used. (This is set to be automatically checked) • Never interfere with any anti-virus software installed on school ICT equipment. • If you suspect there may be a virus on any school ICT equipment, stop using the equipment and contact ICT support immediately. The ICT technician will advise you what actions to take and be responsible for advising others that need to know. Data Security Security • The school gives relevant staff access to its Management Information System (Schoolbase), with a unique username and password. • It is the responsibility of everyone to keep passwords secure. • Staff are aware of their responsibility when accessing school data. • Staff have permission been issued with the relevant guidance documents and the Policy for ICT Acceptable Use. • Staff should keep all school related data secure. This includes all personal, sensitive, confidential or classified data. • Staff should avoid leaving any portable or mobile ICT equipment or removable storage media in unattended vehicles. Where this is not possible, keep it locked out of sight. • Staff should always carry portable and mobile ICT equipment or removable media as hand luggage, and keep it under your control at all times. • It is the responsibility of individual staff to ensure the security of any personal, sensitive, confidential and classified information contained in documents faxed, copied, scanned or printed. This is particularly important when shared mopiers (multi-function print, fax, scan and copiers) are used. Relevant Responsible Persons Senior members of staff should be familiar with information risks and the school’s response. The Data protection officer (Director of Finance and Operations) and e-safety Officer (Deputy Head) have the following responsibilities: • they lead on the information risk policy and risk assessment • they advise school staff on appropriate use of school technology • they act as an advocate for information risk management The Office of Public Sector Information has produced Managing Information Risk, [xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/services/publications/information-risk.pdf] to support relevant responsible staff members in their role. Information Asset Owner (IAO) Any information that is sensitive needs to be protected. This will include the personal data of pupils and staff; such as assessment records, medical information and special educational needs data. The Data Protection Officer should be able to identify across the school: • what information is held, and for what purposes • what information needs to be protected how information will be amended or added to over time • who has access to the data and why • how information is retained and disposed of As a result the Data Protection Officer is able to manage and address risks to the information and make sure that information handling complies with legal requirements. Handling of secured data is everyone’s responsibility – whether you are an employee, consultant, software provider or managed service provider. Failing to apply appropriate controls to secure data could amount to gross misconduct or even legal action. E-mail The use of e-mail within most schools is an essential means of communication for both staff and pupils. In the context of school, e-mail should not be considered private. Educationally, e- mail can offer significant benefits including; direct written contact between schools on different projects, be they staff based or pupil based, within school or international. We recognise that pupils need to understand how to style an e-mail in relation to their age and how to behave responsible online. Managing e-mail • The school gives all staff their own e-mail account to use for all school business as a work based tool. This is to protect staff, minimise the original work risk of receiving unsolicited or malicious e-mails and avoids the risk of personal profile information being revealed. • It is the responsibility of each account holder to keep the password secure. For the safety and security of users and recipients, all mail is filtered and logged; if necessary e-mail histories can be traced. The school email account should be the account that is used for all school business. • Under no circumstances should staff contact pupils, parents or conduct any school business using personal e-mail addresses. • All e-mails should be written and checked carefully before sending, in the same way as a letter written on school headed paper, using formal salutations for recipient and sender. • The school gives all senior pupils their own e-mail account to use for school. Pupils may only use this school approved account on the school system for educational purposes. • E-mails created or received as part of your school job will be subject to disclosure in response to a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You must therefore actively manage your e-mail account as follows: − Delete all e-mails of short-term value − Organise e-mail into folders and carry out frequent house-keeping on all folders and archives • The following pupils have their own individual school issued e-mail accounts (Year 7- Year 11). • The forwarding of chain emails is not permitted in school. • All pupil e-mail users are expected to adhere to the generally accepted rules of responsible online behaviour particularly in relation to the use of appropriate language and not revealing any personal details about themselves or others in my own worke-mail communication, or arrange to meet anyone without specific permission, virus checking attachments. • Where Pupils must immediately tell a teacher/ trusted adult if they receive an offensive or upsetting e-mail. • Staff must inform (the eSafety co-ordinator or line manager) if they receive an offensive e-mail. • Pupils are introduced to e-mail as part of the Computing Programme of Study. • However you access your school e-mail (whether directly, through webmail when away from the office or on non-school hardware) all the school e-mail policies apply. • All e-mail traffic is automatically monitored by the Bloxx system and will report unacceptable language or image use. Sending e-mails • If sending e-mails containing personal, confidential, classified or financially sensitive data to external third parties or agencies, refer to the Section e-mailing Personal, Sensitive, Confidential or Classified Information. • Use your own school e-mail account so that you are clearly identified as the originator of a message, or send e-mails via Schoolbase to parents. • Keep the number and relevance of e-mail recipients, particularly those being copied, to the minimum necessary and appropriate. • Do not send or forward attachments unnecessarily.
