This comprehensive audit will support you to assess your setting’s current position against the DfE’s Digital and Technology Standards for Schools and Colleges. Split into 11 sections that mirror the digital and technology standards and containing over 50 pages, this editable Word document walks you through what schools should have in place when it comes to ensuring they’ve got a safe, robust and sustainable digital infrastructure. The audit can be used flexibly by working through sections at different points and with different stakeholders. For example, you may wish to work with your ICT service provider or in-house IT staff on the more technical parts of the audit, such as the sections on broadband internet, cloud solutions, networks and servers. This will allow you to find out where you currently meet these standards so you can then focus on improving your IT and digital provision in other areas. Part of the standards require schools to have a member of SLT who is the digital technology lead - if your setting does not have one yet, you may wish to start with the sections of digital leadership and governance before moving on to other aspects of the audit, such as laptops, desktops and tablets, and digital accessibility. You may also wish to work with your DSL when looking at safeguarding requirements and keeping children safe by using the sections on cyber security, and filtering and monitoring, which is also available from Honeyguide as an individual audit here: Filtering and Monitoring Audit and Action Plan. School leaders may also find this audit helpful when looking to procure new IT equipment, infrastructure or services to ensure that any upgrades meet and exceed the digital and technology standards. This allows you to ensure you’re making robust and carefully researched purchasing decisions. Ensuring your school has safe and secure IT systems can be challenging, especially when it comes to the technical elements. This audit will support you by breaking down all of the complex digital and technological requirements into manageable chunks so that you focus on finding our your current position and any further improvements you need to make.

In addition to this, the ten Behaviour Management Scenarios can be selected from to use in the training session itself or be delivered as a follow-up, allowing staff to show their understanding of the content and apply solutions to real-life scenarios where staff should avoid group sanctions and utilise alternative methods of behaviour management.
