Security of Data

During the development of assessment tasks, the administration of tests and the marking and analysis of data, the security of student, class and school information is a priority. Given the confidentiality issues associated with holding individual student information, principals and teachers should ensure to the security of student, class and school WALNA information.

Information about each child is confidential; it is available only to the child's parent/s or caregiver/s, the teacher and the school.

It would be inappropriate, for example, to cite individual results in a public form, either orally or in print.
