FAQs about Edu-zone and the Edumailing delivery system? Who uses Edu-zone? Edu-zone was set up to act as a contact point for schools to help in resourcing classroom equipment and curriculum materials. Why Edu-zone? Edu-zone is a dedicated website and resource that supports our Resourcing Service and Product Information. What has it to do with Edumailing? Edumailing is the e-mail delivery system that is used as part of the sales strategy by many of the UK educational Suppliers. It helps suppliers by tracking deliveries to measure effectiveness and contact interest. Can we opt out? Yes. Under our own code of practice we automatically unsubscribe complaints, and each message carries that option. What happens if we opt out? If you opt out you may miss vital information, product news or the opportunity to participate in opinion and dialogue in the future. Are we automatically removed if we opt out? Yes. You are automatically removed from the system, but we strongly recommend you don't and would encourage headteachers and office staff to adopt a more pragmatic view that the information you receive is important to someone in the school. Can we nominate other email addresses to receive information? Yes. You can very simply add colleagues and other mail boxes in the school to receive our bulletins.
