UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

25th May 2018 saw the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation and the implementation of the Data Protection Act 2018. They both exist to protect individuals’ data and cover a series of safeguards, clarifying how is it being stored, shared and used. In schools we handle data every day, and are required to store data for legitimate purposes and legal obligations to safeguard our staff and pupils.

The documents below help us manage the data effectively and securely.
