Intellectual property rights 8.1 Where a licence to use the Service has been granted the Service provides an interactive needs analysis tool designed to enable school staff to map their professional performance against the Government National Standards Framework and use prompts to set professional targets. The website site will also enable the user’s line manager to complete a review of their professional progress using the same format of online questionnaire. The line manager’s review, once completed and saved, is no longer accessible by the line manager and becomes the “property” of the teacher. The Head Teacher or an authorised administrator in school will be able to access information about groups of users in their school in relation to the training targets they have set themselves. They will not have access to full teacher reports or short reports – but they will be able for example to access all the mathematics teachers and see what competencies they are working on – what targets they have set themselves – and what outcomes they are achieving. The information we will have on each user (teacher, line manager) will be their professional details – subjects taught, key stage, etc. along with e-mail address and school contact details – all reviews carried out by these teachers will also be on line and will therefore be stored. You agree that Atkey Solutions may look at and disclose information to third parties, in an anonymised manner for statistical and analytical purposes. 8.2 We do not hold ourselves out as giving any advice.
