Children’s and sensitive information

Users should record only information that is necessary, accurate, professionally written and appropriate for an admissions record.

Sensitive notes must be restricted to staff who genuinely need access. The service should not be used as the school’s primary safeguarding, medical or emergency-response system unless this has been expressly agreed and appropriately configured.

Communications

Users are responsible for checking recipients, attachments and content before sending communications. Templates and automated suggestions must be reviewed by an authorised person.

Security reporting

Suspected vulnerabilities or compromise must be reported promptly to [SECURITY EMAIL]. Users must not publicly disclose a vulnerability before the Supplier has had a reasonable opportunity to investigate and address it.

Enforcement

The Supplier may remove content, restrict functions or suspend affected access where reasonably necessary to protect people, data, systems or legal compliance. Where practicable, the Supplier will notify the Customer and allow remediation.
