ICT Department - Internet Policy

To enable us to deliver the courses efficiently a strict code of conduct is in practice.
You agree to:-

No surfing web in lesson time unless course related and instructed to do so by teachers
No accessing e-mail in lessons unless with the permission of your teacher
No accessing pornographic, video, music websites or downloading offensive material (these are public offences and you are considered to be responsible for the workstation that you are working on).
No downloading of programs, executable files, games or any other non course related material.
No chat line or misuse of web access
No using web/e-mail facilities for spamming or other illegal activities
No use of any messaging programs
No sending offensive messages

GAME SITES

Our policy on games sites is that they will be blocked if you are found using them during lessons.

We won’t block them if you only use them before and after lessons.

This policy also applies to other websites which are not relevant to the lesson, so don’t come to the office complaining when your favourite websites are blocked.

PROXY BYPASSES

In addition, we would like to remind you that attempting to bypass the filtering system is in breach of the Securus agreement you click “OK” to every time you log on. Anybody found attempting this will receive a full network ban for at two weeks. You can click here to view the full ICT CODE OF CONDUCT
