9. Is this mailing list confidential / secure?
No, it is not secure. Although only email addresses from current IPPN membership have access to the mailing lists, it is possible for a member to forward a presumed 'private' email s/he gets from networking to a third party.

Although we can back-trace emails, and although sharing with third parties is prohibited in our protocols and terms & conditions, IPPN cannot thus guarantee total confidentiality/security.

In addition, members are advised NOT to share information which they would not be able to stand over from a professional point of view. The vast majority of potentially sensitive scenarios can be phrased in a generic, non-specific way. Other queries which you wish to be anonymous may be sent via info@ippn.ie using the procedure outlined.

10. How do I post to networking anonymously?
To avail of this service, school leaders are asked to send the email to be posted anonymously, including the following: **Please post anonymously to networking@ippn.ie **

This e-mail must be sent to networking@ippn.ie and fully signed (below for guidelines). We will then remove the signature and send the anonymous e-mail to the appropriate mailing list.
