Storing & sharing information on Glow
M365, Google Workplace and Glow Blogs enable you to store and share a large volume of information within Glow.
Only information related to the delivery of education should be created, stored and shared in Glow.
Glow is not designed to store sensitive information
Other systems utilised by your organisation, such as SEEMiS, HR and financial databases exist for specific purposes and should be used for storing sensitive information, including, but not limited to:
- personal details about pupils;
- records of educational achievement;
- staff records; and
- financial information etc.
Exam papers, with the exception of past papers, should not be stored in Glow.
Before storing or sharing information on Glow, consideration should be given to the nature of the information (in line with your organisation’s information handling policies). This should take account of the damaging consequences to an individual, school or local authority if the information was lost, stolen, accidentally disclosed or misused.
