This is the requirement by law to keep confidential any personal data about our students and ensure these are not made public. In particular
tutors should not share students' contact details with other students without their express permission.
tutors should only contact students through Google Classroom or using their City Lit email (be careful only to use BCC to send an email to more than one person!)
tutors should keep confidential/ locked away any document that includes personal details or work by the student, or make sure it is password protected. These records should normally be destroyed after the course although awarding bodies may require you to keep them longer.
do not use a USB unless it is data encrypted. If your laptop is not encrypted (ie not from City LIt) then only refer to students by initials.
There is a useful guide to GDPR here
As tutors we need to respect copyright when reproducing materials - on paper or online. We have licenses allowing us to copy a limited amount of texts - in hard copy or online - for educational use. There are also open sources for articles and images. Be careful as copyright is strict in some subjects such as use of language textbooks and sheet music. There are also copyright limitations on the use of film and video.
