· Make it unique to this account and not re-used anywhere else.
· Ensure it is at least 10 characters long and includes at least three of the following: a capital letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character.

We recommend anyone with a Brigshaw Trust email account sets up 2-Factor authentication for it. If your role is in finance, safeguarding, IT, management/senior leadership, or you are a SENCO you will be required to set up 2FA. If you are in any doubt, please contact the DPO of the Brigshaw Learning Partnership.
There are help guides available in the BHS Staff Team Drive or in the Help Documents folder, accessible from your desktop. Please contact the IT Helpdesk if you require any assistance with setting up 2FA or accessing the documents.
A full PDF guide is available below.
