Notice Information

Notice Title

Device Reserve - Cisco Umbrella for Get Help With Technology

Notice Description

The Department is planning for the full return of pupils in September, whilst also setting the expectation of a strong remote learning offer in the event that a coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in a school, or local outbreak, may require school closures in the autumn term. This would create a localised dependence on remote education and an immediate surge in the demand for technology to deliver this.
