Guidance on Data Sharing in Glow

Only information related to the delivery of education should be created, stored and shared in Glow. Sensitive information should not be stored in Glow, but rather only in systems designed for those specific purposes (e.g. SEEMiS). Before any information is stored or shared on Glow, potential consequences for an individual, school or local authority in the event of the information being lost, stolen or misused should be considered.

How to report a concern

"If you see something in Glow that you find upsetting or offensive, or if something in Glow makes you feel uncomfortable, you should report it. You can report a concern whether you are using Glow in school, at home or anywhere else you can access Glow. Reporting a concern you have in Glow allows Glow staff to investigate it. You should also tell your teacher or a trusted adult about your concern.

You can report a concern about any area of Glow – whether it’s about Google Classroom, Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, Glow Blogs, or anything else you are using your Glow account with."

Please follow the guidance in the PDF document linked below for reporting a concern:
