Data Security in Schools: What Admins Must Know

Schools hold sensitive information about children and families. Protecting it is not optional, it is a duty of care.

The basics to get right

• Give each role only the access it needs
• Use encryption so data cannot be read if intercepted
• Back up regularly and test that backups work

Good software handles most of this for you, but staff habits matter too. Use strong passwords and remove access when someone leaves. SchoolFlow builds these protections in by default.
