Professional Access Terms
Last updated: 27 June 2026
These terms apply to professionals, external workers, home education workers, reviewers, specialists, and other non-school users who are invited into EdiWay to access limited records or collaboration areas.
1. Invitation-Based Access Only
Professional access must only be created through a valid platform invitation or approved registration routes and must reflect a real, authorised relationship to the learner, family, school, or case concerned.
2. Scope of Access
Professional access is limited to the scope granted through the platform. Access may depend on child links, role settings, consent workflows, invitation settings, and safeguarding restrictions.
3. Confidentiality
Professionals must keep all learner, family, school, and support information confidential and must not access, copy, download, disclose, or use information outside the purpose for which access was granted.
4. Safeguarding and Child Safety
If you are given access to child-related records, you must use the platform appropriately and within your professional authority. You must not use the platform in any way that places a child or family at risk.
5. Records and Inputs
If you add notes, records, comments, or uploads, you are responsible for ensuring that they are appropriate, accurate to the best of your knowledge, and relevant to the authorised support or review purpose.
6. No Unauthorised Sharing
You must not re-share information taken from the platform unless you are authorised and there is a lawful basis to do so.
7. AI Use
If AI-supported features are available to your role, you remain responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them or sharing them onward.
8. Ending Access
Professional access may be limited, time-bound, revoked, or ended where the relationship ends, consent is withdrawn, a safeguarding issue arises, or access is no longer needed.
9. Breach
Misuse of professional access may lead to immediate suspension, removal, record preservation, and further action where appropriate.
