Information Governance/ GDPR
Information Governance/GDPR
The law is changing and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into effect on 25th May 2018. It brought in higher standards for handling data and greater expectations for improved transparency, enhanced data security and increased accountability for processing personal data. Schools will have a legal duty to comply with the GDPR.

Schools have a legal duty to comply with GDPR so we have been working on our readiness by:
- Attending training courses
- Making staff and governors aware of the implications
- Reviewing all our data and documents and updating them
We already have strong data protection policies and procedures in place but these have been updated in line with GDPR.
