At the end of the day, the teachers are employees (as SMT are) the Governing Body should be the ones who say what goes (following LA and Government Guidelines)

If teachers won't sign the AUP then they shouldn't get access to the network and if that means they can't do their job then they should leave.

 

Completely agree.........I am currently writing our staff AUP and laptop use policy.........if they refuse to sign then they shouldn't be allowed access to the network.........in the same way the kids aren't allowed access until they sign and return their AUP..........

 

I'm using the edugeek wiki on school policies to help write mine..........basic but very useful.

We are just going through the process of a proper staff AUP and have had staff/unions/SLT/governors involved. This is something that should be done in partnership with everyone and then you will get acceptance of it without so much of the hostilities. I have written it jointly with one of our SLT rather than solo.

What was interesting though is when the unions did their talk to staff and basically were ripping into them about their use of ICT equipment, websites such as Facebook and use of personal equipment and were demanding much tighter restrictions on their use than what was actually in our AUP, so if you have staff are threatening to go to the unions I expect they with get very short shrift.
