There are various types of cybersecurity training that usually falls
within the responsibility of each institution.  Currently, North Northants
does not offer schools that fall within their remit cyber security
training.   As part of each teacher’s professional CPD requirements, that
would be discussed as part of their employment agreement offer, which is
not overseen by the Local Authority.
