ICT Usage Agreement

First and foremost, this agreement is designed to protect pre-school staff from harassment, real or alleged misuse and any consequential disciplinary action arising from the use of electronic communication equipment in the pre-school. It is also intended to ensure that the pre-school’s equipment is used responsibly and safely at all times. ICT usage, including the internet, must be primarily concerned with staff pursuing their professional duties.

The purpose of this agreement is to protect the integrity of the system and of all its users. St Michael’s Pre-school will endeavour, where possible, to provide a safe and secure environment for its users. However, please be aware that we cannot guarantee complete safety from inappropriate material. The responsibility must lie with each individual to use ICT in a safe, sensible and responsible way.

Personal mobile phones may be taken into the pre-school. These may be left turned on and should be stored, with your other personal belongings, in the secure cupboard in the office unless otherwise agreed with the pre-school leader, in cases of emergency or the exceptional need to take a call. Personal mobile devices may only be used in the office when no children are present.

Anyone who fails to comply or acts in a way which is deemed inappropriate or irresponsible, may lose access rights to the pre-school computers/devices. In exceptional circumstances, where there are grounds to suspect that a user has committed a criminal offence, the police will be informed, and a criminal prosecution may follow.
