Programme description
In this digital age, it is more important than ever for schools and trusts to have plans in place to manage and respond to cyber security incidents. As governors and trustees, it is your responsibility to ensure that your organisation is suitably prepared.
To support you with this, NGA have partnered with Secure Schools to develop a brand new e-learning module covering the governing board’s role in protecting schools. This 30-minute module will help you to recognise the common cyber threats that schools face, understand the boards’ responsibilities as dictated by the DfE and UK GDPR, and will provide you with practical steps to take and questions to ask.
Some of these topics will challenge your implicit biases, associations and preconceptions, which may make you feel vulnerable or defensive, but the modules are designed to support you in having vital conversations about EDI in your schools. They will give you solid evidence to draw from and practical tools to make change happen, making sure every pupil, staff member, parent and other stakeholders feels included, valued and represented.
