D1 - Refresher
Compare legal, ethical and operational issues that may affect organisations
evidence must include a comparison of at least two criteria for each of the legal, ethical and operational issues and how they affect at least two different organisation types.
This evidence could be an extension of P3 but should compare the examples. Evidence of effects on the organisation must be clearly explained within the learner evidence.
example of table layout, you can choose any of the issues listed below the table
Legal issues
• data protection legislation (e.g. Data Protection Act 1998)
• Freedom of Information Act 2000
• other relevant legislation (e.g. Computer Misuse Act
1990)
• copyright considerations.
Ethical issues
• examples of ethical issues (e.g. moral, whistle blowing,
disability, use of information)
• codes of practice (e.g. email, internet, internal policies,
intellectual property, content)
• other (e.g. reporting bad practice or breaches).
Operational Issues
• security of information (e.g. backups)
• health and safety (e.g. processes, procedures,
regulations)
• organisational policies
• costs (e.g. for development, modification, training,
system upgrades)
• continuance planning.

M2 & D2 Information
ATL Details
Make sure to use the correct shapes when creating your data flow diagram.
The table shows the information that should be contained in the DFD for the ATL.
Purchase Order

D2 - Legal & Ethical Issues of Systems in DFD
Analyse the legal and ethical implications on the data flows that they have identified in their diagrams. Their diagrams could be annotated to identify these and/or a separate detailed report used.
Atls
legal teachers can not access all details from home.
DPA how does the school know that their computers are safe?
Profiles to protect data different people have different levels of access
Computer misuse we have acceptable user policy
Ethical should post 16 be given to parents.
should they be posted?
should teachers have to justify colour code?
training on giving grades

M2 - Create Two Data Flow Digrams
M2 - you need to identify the information systems used in
a specified organisation.
To achieve M2 you must choose a specific
area of the school (e.g. sixth form) and illustrate the input
and output of information within two specific tasks carried
out.
To do this you need to create two data flow diagrams
(DFDs) explaining the input and output of information within your two
departments. You must check each process to ensure that you have used the
industry recognised symbols and correct
errors.
External Entity
An external entity can represent a human, system or subsystem. It is where certain data comes from or goes to. It is external to the system we study, in terms of the business process. For this reason, people use to draw external entities on the edge of a diagram.

Process
A process is a business activity or function where the manipulation and transformation of data takes place. A process can be decomposed to finer level of details, for representing how data is being processed within the process.

Data Store
A data store represents the storage of persistent data required and/or produced by the process. Here are some examples of data stores: membership forms, database table, etc.
