The role of an IT leader in a college
has many facets when it comes to digital safeguarding:
It often includes operational and strategic planning, developing and improving ICT / network systems, risk management and ensuring everything is safe, reliable, effectively used and up to date.
College IT leaders also need to be a source of expertise on current and emerging digital safeguard technologies and statutory obligations. It’s a complex portfolio of responsibility. There is little capacity for disruption.
Working with external technology partners such as Smoothwall therefore has to be seamless.
