Code of Conduct - ICT Facilities 

I (the student) AGREE TO:

• Use only my own network account (you are not permitted to use another person’s network username or password).

• Look after my password (I am responsible for keeping my password secret and changing it immediately I suspect someone else might know it.)

• Use my network account to store only work associated with college. (Offensive, insulting or harassing material is illegal and you will be held responsible if it is found stored or displayed on a computer accessed by your username.)

• Look after all computer equipment that I use. (I will be held responsible for any breakages resulting from misuse, including accidental damage through inappropriate conduct such as eating or drinking near a PC.)

• Follow copyright laws (assume that all software, including shareware, is copyright protected and should not be shared without permission.)

• Protect the computer network against viruses (do my best to ensure that my work from home and any other data is virus-free.)

• Use the Internet for educational purposes only (this does not include chat rooms, online computer games, chain mail, violent, distasteful or adult material etc.)

• Leave PC and workstation settings as they are (PCs have been configured as they are with good reason and must be left this way).

• Respect people’s privacy (this includes personal details and images)

Personal Technology Devices

Personal technology, such as mobile phones and personal media players, are permitted to be brought to school provided the owner follows the following simple guidance;

​

• All devices should be switched off or on silent during the school day to avoid disturbing lessons. Urgent telephone messages from home can be passed to students by calling reception.

• Devices should be kept in bags during lessons unless the teacher has given permission otherwise

• A student can be requested to reveal a message, or content on their mobile phone, to establish if bullying has occurred. Disciplinary measures may be taken against those who refuse to comply

• Mobile phones with cameras must not be used in PE lessons, changing rooms or toilet areas

• No images of films are to be taken of other students or members of staff

• Personal technology devices brought in from home cannot be charged at the school

• School staff may confiscate a device for the rest of the day where students do not follow this guidance. One off serious incidents or repeated misuse may result in the student being refused permission to bring the device to school for a fixed period of time or permanently.
