Users are cautioned that many of these pages include offensive, sexually explicit, and inappropriate material. In general, it is difficult to avoid at least some contact with this material while using the Internet. Even innocuous search requests may lead to sites with highly offensive content. Additionally, having an address on the Internet may lead to receipt of unsolicited containing offensive content. South Norfolk Council ( SNC ) is not responsible for material viewed or downloaded by users from the Internet. To minimise these risks, your use of the Internet at South Norfolk Council is governed by the following policy: 2. Your Responsibilities 2.1. It is your responsibility to: Familiarise yourself with the detail, essence and spirit of this policy before using the Council s information and communications technology ( ICT ) systems.

Additionally Users may also be provided with access to the Internet and through the computer network or via stand-alone PC s.

However such use must not: - a) interfere with the user s or any other employee s job performance; b) or violate any other policies, provisions, guidelines or standards of this agreement or any other of SNC. Further, at all times users are responsible for the professional, ethical and lawful use of the council s ICT systems. Personal use of the computer is a privilege that may be revoked at any time. If personal use has an undue effect on the computer or SNC network s performance, then the Council may have to re-consider allowing such use. Except for emergency contacts, you must not use your s-norfolk address for any private purpose. It is explicitly prohibited to use your s-norfolk address to sign up for private newsletters, blogs, offers on sites such as Amazon, Discount Voucher sites, ebay (the companies listed are only examples). If you feel that you should be exempt from this prohibition, please consult with your director. You may, of course, from time to time receive spam s from such companies and these should be deleted or reported to the IT Unit. Personal use of Social Media Make sure that you have read and followed the Code of Conduct for Employees Make sure that your online activities do not interfere with your job, your colleagues or commitments to customers. Some staff may be permitted to use social networking sites in the course of their employment, however your personal use of such sites must be in your own time. Such staff will need the permission of their Director before being granted access for work purposes Be aware of your association with South Norfolk Council when using social networking sites. If you identify yourself as having an association with South Norfolk Council as an employee, ensure your profile and related content is consistent with how you wish to present yourself with colleagues and customers Remember that you are responsible for the content you place on such sites yourself and you should remain professional at all times.

Duty Not to Waste or Damage Computer Resources 6.1. Accessing the Internet. If your computer is connected to the SNC network you must not access any other network or system using a modem or other direct means. Bypassing SNC s computer security solutions is strictly prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action. This is to ensure security and avoid the spread of viruses Frivolous Use. Computer resources are not unlimited. Network bandwidth and storage capacity have finite limits, and all Users connected to the network have a responsibility to conserve these resources. As such, the User must not deliberately perform acts that waste computer resources or unfairly monopolise resources to the exclusion of others. These acts include, but are not limited to, sending mass mailings or chain letters, spending excessive amounts of time on the Internet, playing games, engaging in online chat groups, uploading or downloading large files, accessing streaming audio and/or video files, or otherwise creating unnecessary loads on network traffic associated with non-business-related uses of the Internet Virus detection. Files obtained from sources outside SNC, including disks brought from home, files downloaded from the Internet, newsgroups, bulletin boards, or other online services; files attached to , and files provided by customers or vendors, may contain dangerous computer viruses that may damage the council s ICT systems. Our current computer configuration is designed to ensure that viruses cannot enter the system; however, if you suspect that a virus has been introduced into SNC's network, you must notify the IT Service Desk immediately. 7. No Expectation of Privacy 7.1. Employees and other authorised users are given access to the council s ICT systems to assist them in the performance of their jobs. Employees and other authorised users should have no expectation of privacy in anything they create, store, send or receive using the council s ICT systems. The computer network is the property of SNC. The Council retains a record of all sites visited together with all items created, stored, sent, or received in it's storage archives for such period as it thinks fit Waiver of privacy rights. User expressly waives any right of privacy in anything they create, store, send or receive using the council s ICT systems.

Do not delete it or forward it to anyone the item may be required for evidence, and forwarding it may cause (further) damage Immediately contact your supervisor or manager and report the matter to them; also inform the IT Service Desk, who will make arrangements with you to copy the item for further investigation If you suspect that the council s ICT systems are being abused or that offensive or suspect material is being circulated you are required to inform your supervisor or manager Receiving unsolicited, offensive material is not considered an abuse of the system. However - asking for material, passing it on and / or not asking for it to stop is an abuse If you are unsure if you are working within the Council s guidelines ask yourself the following question Would I be prepared for the material / my actions to be viewed by any member of the public or elected members? The answer should help you decide. 9. Managers and Supervisors 9.1. If your staff tell you that they have received offensive or suspect material you are required to ensure that the IT Service Desk has been informed and are taking action to isolate and trace the origin of the item In the event that the offensive or suspect item has originated from within the organisation the matter will be referred to the relevant manager who will decide on the appropriate action to be taken after consulting the Human Resources Manager or their representative If you suspect that the council s ICT systems are being abused or that offensive or suspect material is being circulated you must follow the normal disciplinary guidelines. Additionally you are required to inform the IT Manager or the IT Infrastructure Manager in order for the electronic evidence to be secured and placed in safe keeping for any subsequent action or investigation As a manager you have the responsibility of giving guidance and supervising staff within your control, which should include talking to your staff on a regular basis to ensure that they understand and are complying with the Council s code of conduct. 10. Connecting equipment to the network No equipment may be connected to the SNC network (e.g. for vendor demonstrations) without prior written consent of the IT Infrastructure Manager or IT Manager. 11.
