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.

Signature Guidelines:

• Full name 
• Email
• School Name
• Roll No
• School County
• Accompanying Notice to Colleagues:

**Ed - Full name, school address, roll number are with the Support Office 

11. Do I have to email Networking mailing lists from my registered network email address?
Yes, due to security measures, the system will automatically reject emails that are not registered to the Networking mailing list on the IPPN membership.
However, if you want other school leaders to respond directly to your post, in the body of your post, please include your email address/ your contact details (it doesn’t have be your registered Network email)

12. Will my post be edited by the moderation team before being released to Network mailing list?
No, once your email meets the criteria for it to be posted, it is up to you to ensure all details are correct.  Once an email is shared on the mailing list, it can not be edited or deleted by the Moderation team.
If you want other school leaders to respond directly to your post, please include an email address or contact details that they contact you, in the body of your post.

13. Can I send an attachment with emails?
No - our system cannot post anything that contains attachments due to the risk of transmitting viruses. If possible, you can place the relevant information into the body of the email and send it to networking@ippn.ie
Another option may be to post a link to the document, from your school blog/website and direct colleagues to that instead.
