Is it going to be illegal to access tapesty at home?

[Andy Patrick]

With the forthcoming GDPR changes, is it going to be 'illegal' to access tapestry at home?

Thanks in advance.

if you have the right permissions and security set up! and the parents know that's what you do

[FSFRebecca]

No, not at all. As finsleysmaid says, you need to be sure that you have the correct permissions and consents in place. If you do, there will no problem. That is the same as now, and also the same as if you were using paper journals. If you need some help then the GDPR threads and the Tapestry prototcol document will help you. The protocol document is being updated at the moment and will be posted the middle of next week 

Hope that helps

If staff access tapestry at home, can they do so using their own laptop rather than taking a device home with them?

[FSFRebecca]

Hello burroughgreenplaygroup! Well done on making your first post! Welcome to FSF 

Yes, a staff member could access Tapestry at home if they have email access, if they are PIN only then no, they can't (as they need a manager or a staff member who has their account set for email access to log into the account for them).

You will need to make sure that their own devices are secure and protected and that they understand their obligations regarding data protection.

Hope that helps

Hi all.  Does anybody have a copy of a 'Staff Using Tapestry at Home' checklist that they get each member of staff to sign before allowing them to start taking tablets, etc home please?  Thanks.
