email policies

[beeswax]

we're currently using worldclient for our school email (staff only nothing set up for pupils yet) and we're looking to either move to exchange or go with a private company/provider. exploring this I realized that I hadn't a clue about what a school is legally required to do. data protection, storing emails etc, all spring to mind, and there are probably a dozen more. I'm going to try the becta site shortly, but if anyone who has any experience of this could help with some links I'd be grateful.

thanks for that Mark. I'll see if I can't find a quiet minute to read it.
