Data Protection governs how information about people, such as pupils and staff, is collected and used.
GDPR is about personal data. This means data which relates to an individual who can be identified from that information. It does not affect all the records the school holds because much of it will not contain personal data.
GDPR became law on 25 May 2018. It had a number of changes from the previous Data Protection Act. The main new feature of data protection under the GDPR is an accountability principle, meaning that the organisation does not only have to comply, but it has to be able to demonstrate that it complies.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the national regulator of data protection legislation. If there is something that we are doing that is not quite as it should be, a complaint can be made to the ICO. Details of how to do this are below.
