Use of Associates’ own IT / devices and access to apps & sites whilst in schools
Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) requires schools to adhere to Digital & Technology standards designed to protect children from harmful content and potentially harmful activity. (KCSiE 2023 para 135-148.) KCSiE clearly understands the positive potential of Technology to education and learning, this is about considering the risks.
This has a potential implication for Associates (tutors / music leaders / providers) who may wish to utilise their own devices / resources as part of their delivery / teaching / assessment.
We advise Associates planning to use devices, sites or apps etc. to make schools aware of this in advance and check their procedures.
Associates using school devices or those who have access to a school system (such as an official school email address) will find the following useful:
Online safety self-review tool for schools
All Associates will find this government guidance useful.
