GDPR Compilance

Schools Privacy Notice

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new EU law that comes into effect on May 25th 2018, many of the GDPR’s main concepts and principles are much the same as those in the current Data Protection Act (DPA) originally passed in 1995. This means we have had the same data protection directive for the past 20 years!

As a result, the old rules needed a colossal overhaul to reflect the need for stronger data protection for our own personal data anywhere across Europe. GDPR introduces a number of changes that will impact schools. Education has always valued people’s rights and freedoms and has been very good at taking steps to protect personal data, but GDPR introduces new requirements as well as increased penalties for non-compliance. This applies to electronic and paper based files.
