About Safer Technologies 4 Schools
What is Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S)?
The Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S) service is a national standardised approach to evaluating digital products and services used by schools across Australia. It is supported by the state and territory governments and the Catholic and independent school sectors.
What does usage of the ST4S badge mean?
Queensland School Photography earned the ST4S badge through a rigorous assessment of how we handle information. The assessment confirmed we have the necessary security and privacy controls in place, implemented to the standard required by the ST4S framework.
How does the ST4S badge benefit schools?
The badge helps educators easily identify vendors for which comprehensive information is available to assess how it can be used in their schools. It provides a recognisable symbol that a product or service has been assessed through the ST4S framework and has committed to supporting student and school online security and safety.
Why was the ST4S established?
ST4S was established in collaboration with all Australian state, territory, Catholic and Independent school sectors to develop a nationally consistent security and privacy control framework to help schools reduce risks when choosing digital products and services.
