About The Webinar
Future-Proofing IT Procurement in Line with DfE Standards
For: Governors, senior leaders, headteachers, digital leads
Aim: This webinar provides you with a clearer understanding of the latest DfE guidance on digital and technological standards – enabling you to make more informed decisions, and leading to safer, more cost-efficient practices and new learning opportunities for students.
Rationale: The DfE has recently updated its guidance on the standards that schools and colleges are expected to meet in terms of the digital equipment they use and the IT service they provide. These standards are intended to support schools and colleges in choosing appropriate items of technology and the right digital infrastructure; crucially, the DfE notes that further updates will be added in due course, so it’s important that relevant staff are aware of likely future considerations.
