FAQ's
Is the GivEducation Toolkit free to use?
Yes. The toolkit is completely free for schools and teachers in the UK, with no hidden costs or subscription fees.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use the GivEducation tools?
Not at all. All GivEducation tools are designed for simplicity. Even teachers with minimal tech experience can use them with ease.
Are the tools GDPR compliant and safe for pupil data?
Yes. GivEducation tools are fully GDPR-compliant. Your data is never stored or used to train AI models. Schools can also sign a Data Processing Agreement for extra assurance.
What is the difference between a Personal and a Professional Account?
A Personal Account is for individual exploration of the Toolkit and is not suitable for handling any pupil or staff data. A Professional Account is linked to a school or trust, is fully GDPR-compliant, and allows secure handling of pupil and staff data.
Who can sign the Organisational Agreement?
Only a Headteacher, Data Protection Officer (DPO), or IT lead can sign the Organisational Agreement on behalf of a school or trust.
