ICT Security Policies have been developed and agreed and a Code of Practice for Staff has been developed to give specific examples and guidance to aid the interpretation of the detailed policies. 

A Code of Practice for Members has also been produced to give specific examples. The Committee is asked to adopt the ICT Code of Practice for Members.

The Head of ICT Security reported on the development of Cheshire East ICT Security Policies. A Code of Practice for Staff had been produced, to give specific examples and guidance to aid the interpretation of the detailed policies.

A Code of Practice for Members had also been produced, and the report submitted detailed that Code of Practice.

During discussion of the Code, Members commented that the second sentence under paragraph 3, “Guidance when using Council Equipment”, sub-paragraph 3.1 “Use and Protection”, second bullet-point (“Receiving e-mail on a separate private e-m ail account from a Member’s group or party would not be regarded as improper.”), was unnecessary and should be removed.

RESOLVED:

That, subject to the amendment described above, the ICT Code of Practice for Members be adopted by the Standards Committee as a protocol.
