General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

You may be aware that from May 25th 2018, new legislation came into effect governing how schools protect your data. It is essential that every establishment publish a ‘Privacy Notice’. In simple terms, this notifies you of why we need to collect data, what data we hold, how it is stored, who we share the data with and why we do this.

Who do I contact for more information, to report a data breach, or to access my own personal data (a ‘subject access request’)?
