Governance and evidence
Protect records, simplify handover and support procurement evidence
Education devices can contain pupil, staff and operational information. Schools and trusts need to identify data-bearing assets, decide the required treatment and retain suitable evidence for their own accountability.
LCR works from an agreed collection scope. Multi-site contacts, access windows, asset information and requested documentation are set before collection so the handover is easier for IT, estates and school leadership teams to manage.

Questions before collection
Frequently asked questions
Can LCR collect IT equipment from multiple schools in an academy trust?+
Yes. Provide each site, the local contact, equipment volume, access times and reporting requirements. LCR can then assess whether a phased or coordinated multi-site collection is suitable.
What school IT equipment can be considered for collection?+
Collections can be assessed for laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, network equipment, printers and common peripherals. Include condition, quantities and any data-bearing devices in the initial asset list.
Can you provide records for an academy’s asset register?+
An agreed report can record device categories, quantities, available serial numbers and processing outcomes. Share the trust’s asset-register and evidence requirements before collection.
How should schools prepare data-bearing devices?+
The school or trust should identify devices that may hold personal or operational data and state the required treatment. LCR can then agree the handling and evidence route for suitable assets before pickup.
Can reusable school devices support social value?+
Suitable equipment can be prioritised for refurbishment and community reuse after appropriate data handling. This can extend device life and support LCR Charity’s digital inclusion work.
