Loss and Damage Policy

[plumtech]

Hi All,

 

 

Due to a recent number of reoccurring damages of MacBook chargers/screens/keyboards in one of my schools I have been asked to write a Loss and Damage Policy but don't really know where to start.

 

The key points are:

 

• Departments to be charged for non accidental loss or damage
  
• Case by case basis
  
• Each case to be recorded with evidence
  
• Incidents to be reported immediately
  

 

How do you manage this sort of thing in your schools? Any policy examples you wouldn't mind me looking at please?

 

Thanks

 

Jack

Get a check in and out sheet, inspect everything (weather that be IT or the teacher) and get a signature for it, will make users more responsible and its then on their head they've signed in/out and damage occurs.

We have department owned trolleys so they are responsible but it's the wear and tear vs irresponsible damage.

Deliberate damage to equipment really grinds on me. Even cheap peripherals like mice and keyboards. Would love to hear a solution to this that doesn't add to a teachers workload...
