Department for Education Education Licence FAQs Find out more about the Education Licence coverage and how it can protect and support your organisation How do I get access to the Education Platform? The Education Platform is provided at no additional cost to holders of the CLA Education Licence. Your institution needs to be registered on the platform, and each teacher or other member of staff needing access will also need to register. How do we know if we have a CLA licence? All state-funded schools in the UK hold the CLA Licence through central agreements with regional education bodies. Most Independent schools also hold the licence, but just check with IAPs, SCIS or CLA. We license sixth-form colleges and further education colleges directly, so just get in touch with CLA if you're unsure that your institution has the licence. Can we share copies with other schools in our Multi Academy Trust? The CLA Education Licence covers individual educational establishments on a single school's site, and copies can be shared with teachers in an individual school. These copies may not be shared across a group of schools such as a MAT. Who can I give copies to? Staff and students at your school or college can receive copies made under the licence. The key thing to remember is that the copy must be secure to your institution. It should not be shared outside the school, or put on a public facing website. How many copies can I make? You can make as many copies as are needed to see that each student and any staff supporting the class has access to a copy. It’s fine to put the copy on the VLE or intranet, just make sure it’s secure to your school or college.
