Safety when using new software/devices at school and home

Using Teams Safely for Staff

Microsoft have created a great resource for schools to use to understand how to keep students and staff safe when using teams.

Keeping safe when using devices at home

With many schools now asking students to use devices in lessons, and at home - perhaps unsupervised whilst parents work at home - how can we help parents ensure their children are safe?

Keeping your school networks safe

There are more risks being presented to us as we try to keep your networks safe then ever before, and as schools move into the cloud, we are presented with new challenges and risks.

  • Keep your data safe, by switching on MFA (Multi-Factor-Authentication) for at least staff accounts. You can whitelist your school broadband so you do not need to do anything additional in school, just when at home

  • Password security for staff and students is vitally important, password management is a life skill
  • There are useful graphics from NCSC here for families and your school.
