Information Security

3. Information training and staff awareness requirements

Schools are encouraged to ensure that staff with access to sensitive school information complete relevant security training to enable them to understand and comply with information security obligations.

Department provided materials are available for staff (with DE identities) and it is recommended that information security and awareness training is undertaken upon engagement and repeated annually thereafter where possible. LearnED modules are available including the Information Security for School Staff e-learning module (staff login required).

It is best practice to embed information security training as a regular component of staff training. Department provided resources include the Identifying and Reporting Phishing guide (DOCX).
