Why can't I use my own email?

Due to GDPR the use of Free (Gmail/Hotmail Etc) Email services is to be discouraged. This is because they often lack security features, which are provided to us through Office 365. It also means if there was a freedom of information request, you would have to provide access to your personal emails. 

We are allowing you to forward district emails onto your own personal emails but if necessary. Please note by doing so you agree to the terms that you provide the information required should we receive a freedom of information request.
