Contract for Staff iPads

[enjay]

We're about to issue all teaching staff with iPads, and would like to get them to sign something / click on-screen to a statement about (in)appropriate use and care. Does anyone have something along these lines which they'd be willing to share?

iPad Usage Policy

By taking this iPad I agree to the following:

Users Responsibilities

Users must use protective covers/cases for their iPad. The iPad screen is made of glass and therefore is subject to cracking and breaking if misused: Never drop, nor place heavy objects (books, laptops, etc.) on top of the iPad. Only a soft cloth or approved laptop screen cleaning solution is to be used to clean the iPad screen. Do not subject the iPad to extreme heat or cold. Do not store or leave unattended in vehicles. Users may not photograph any other person, without that persons’ consent. School is not responsible for the financial or other loss of any personal files that may be deleted from an iPad.

Safeguarding and Maintaining as an Academic Tool

iPad batteries are required to be charged and be ready to use in school. Syncing the iPad to iTunes or iCloud will be maintained by a School administrator. Items deleted from the iPad cannot be recovered. Memory space is limited. Academic content takes precedence over personal files and apps. The whereabouts of the iPad should be known at all times. It is a user’s responsibility to keep their iPad safe and secure. iPads belonging to other users are not to be tampered within any manner. If an iPad is found unattended, it should be given to the nearest member of staff.

Lost, Damaged or Stolen iPad

If the iPad is lost, stolen, or damaged, the ICT Technician /Head Teacher must be notified immediately. iPads that are believed to be stolen can be tracked through iCloud.

Prohibited Uses (not exclusive):

Accessing Inappropriate Materials – All material on the iPad must adhere to the ICT Responsible Use Policy. Users are not allowed to send, access, upload, download or distribute offensive, threatening, pornographic, obscene, or sexually explicit materials. Illegal Activities – Use of the school’s internet/e-mail accounts for financial or commercial gain or for any illegal activity. Violating Copyrights – Users are not allowed to have music on their iPad. Cameras – Users must use good judgment when using the camera. The user agrees that the camera will not be used to take inappropriate, illicit or sexually explicit photographs or videos, nor will it be used to embarrass anyone in any way. Any use of camera in toilets or changing rooms, regardless of intent, will be treated as a serious violation. Images of other people may only be made with the permission of those in the photograph. Misuse of Passwords, Codes or other Unauthorised Access: Users are encouraged to set a passcode on their iPad to prevent other users from misusing it. Individual users are responsible for the setting up and use of any home internet connections and support will not be provided for this by the school. Users should be aware of and abide by the guidelines set out by the School eSafety policy. School reserves the right to confiscate and search an iPad to ensure compliance with this Responsible Use Policy.

We only did a small 15 ipad roll out as a test for staff. Each one came to me and had to sign a sheet along side the specific tablet agreeing to the T's&C's:

You are receiving Ipad, (spec), charger, case and £#.# Itunes Voucher

Tablet and Voucher only to be used for work purposes

Tablet will be returned if requested by SLT, LT, or at the end of employment

Loss / damage to the device will be charged to the department / individual

 

Tried to keep it short and to the point!
