[Year 12 IPM] Use of CCTV in schools

[Stephen Digby]

Yes, normal "its your problem and I will cover my arse" response from the centre.
Was just about to implement wireless portable IP cameras for "troublespots" in classrooms.

Still looking for HQ wireless USB2 webcam for placement in classroom by teacher to record onto Notebook for self-evaluation of
teaching practice  (Just an upgrade on previous use of Digital video camera that is lower cost, more physically robust & smaller
image storage and easier manipulation by class teacher.

An interesting announcement for both info system managers using/considering CCTV, and for privacy discussion...

Circular 371/2005 - Use of Closed Circuit Television Surveillance in Schools

For all principals, schools, and school council presidents.

Any new or additional CCTV system installed in a school should comply with both legislative and Department requirements.  Policies
and procedures have been established to ensure that any school planning to install CCTV surveillance meets these requirements.
Schools that have not previously sought approval for CCTV systems, should contact Emergency & Security Management immediately at
esm at edumail.vic.gov.au and seek retroactive approval.
