e-Monitoring and CCTV

Coast and Vale Learning Trust is a Data Controller and operates CCTV and e-Monitoring across our sites.  This page has been put together to give you further information about this in a way that is easy to understand.

CCTV

We operate CCTV in order to achieve the following aims:

• Improve the health & safety and security of learners, staff and visitors
• Safeguard our learners and all users of our buildings
• Protect the school buildings and internal infrastructure
• Improve learner behaviour
• Reduce vandalism
• Provide assistance in the detection and prevention of crime
• Assure parents that their children are safe whilst in school.

e-Monitoring

All our sites have wi-fi and we use Impero and Smoothwall as e-Monitoring systems.  This means we monitor all the traffic that gets transmitted across any part of our network – including computers that are connected via cables.

We do this to safeguard all our users and especially our learners.

Smoothwall and Impero work by notifying us if inappropriate material is accessed.

Our IT staff are able to access anything that is saved across any part of our network or on Office 365 and our Google Workspace.

If you connect to our Wi-Fi or use a computer connected to the network you do need to be aware that anything that is transmitted across it is logged.
