Strategic policy, legal and AITSL matrix
Effective ICT risk management requires educators to look beyond isolated school rules. Both scenarios engage local procedures, Victorian departmental policy, federal legislation and professional standards.
The matrix maps the fictional Aurevian College context to current policy, legislative and AITSL responsibilities. Local systems and procedures are identified as scenario assumptions unless independently verified.
