Module description
In this digital age, it is more important than ever for schools and trusts to have plans in place to manage and respond to cyber security incidents. As governors and trustees, it is your responsibility to ensure that your organisation is suitably prepared.
To support you with this, NGA have partnered with Secure Schools to develop a brand new e-learning module covering the governing board’s role in protecting schools. This 30-minute module will help you to recognise the common cyber threats that schools face, understand the boards’ responsibilities as dictated by the DfE and UK GDPR, and will provide you with practical steps to take and questions to ask.

Paul Armstrong is a Senior Cybersecurity Culture & Awareness Specialist, Governor, and Vice-Chair at a UK primary school. With over 20 years’ teaching experience in primary education, leadership, local authority training, and governance, Paul is passionate about helping school communities understand their role in digitally safeguarding schools.
