Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether schools or the Welsh Government is responsible for the security of the Hwb?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
The Welsh Government, through its strategic oversight and investment, ensures that Hwb is built on a secure, resilient infrastructure that complies with UK Government cybersecurity standards and data protection legislation.
The Welsh Government and local authorities support schools in implementing secure practices and managing access, while schools are responsible for ensuring staff and learners use the platform appropriately and securely.
The security of Hwb relies on the active participation of local authorities, schools and individual users. This collaborative approach ensures that Hwb remains a safe and trusted environment for digital learning across Wales.
