Cybersecurity & Data Protection
Cybersecurity and data protection are vital to safeguarding our educational environments. At Central Region Schools Trust, we hold sensitive data that, without proper protection, is vulnerable to cyber threats
As part of your onboarding, all staff—including governance roles—must complete the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) training video before accessing school or Trust systems.
