Dear colleague

 

We are investigating one incident with CTF for schools who have taken the latest Spring Release (7.186.) We are assessing currently the specific scenarios where this incident arises and the exact scope of its impact.

 

Our current precautionary advice is not to use the CTF mechanism to share pupil and contact details with other schools until further notice. If you have sent a CTF file to another school, after upgrading to the Spring release, which was made available Friday 22 March, and applied to Hosted SIMS schools systems over the weekend commencing 29th March, we suggest you contact the recipient school to check the details that they have loaded are correct. Please note that this issue does not relate to data transferred prior to the spring release (i.e. schools on the autumn release transferring data to schools also on the autumn release are unaffected).

 

Capita ESS apologises for any impact that may arise from this incident. We continue to investigate and will update once the full details and implications are known. We will post updates via My Account in due course but will also continue to give important updates via email.

 

Kind regards

 

 

 

Kind Regards

 

Linda
