GDPR for Schools
Problem
The General Data Protection Regulations is a difficult piece of legislation to implement in any organisation let alone a school. The lack of available time, expertise, and focus can really impact your school’s ability to meet its legal obligations.
Solution
Our experienced team has worked with over 200 schools on GDPR compliance projects. Our expertise and proven methodology will ensure your school can demonstrate compliance with the GDPR and meet your legal obligations.
Stage 1: GDPR Workshops
GDPR Workshops are held with key stakeholders including Management, Administration, SEN, Guidance Counsellors, Year Heads and Digital Learning Teams to understand how the school handles data. Through these workshops we’ll advise and agree an action plan for each group.
Stage 2: Policy & Resource Pack
The Policy Pack for your school will include Data Protection, CCTV and AUP policies. We’ll update enrolment forms, put necessary agreements in place with 3rd parties and provide additional recourses to demonstrate GDPR Compliance.
Stage 3: Staff Training
Staff training then takes place via our Learning Platform – The Ark Academy™ designed specifically to bring staff through their individual GDPR responsibilities in everyday teaching and learning.
Stage 4: Retained Support
When you need advice or support how long do other service providers wait before coming back to you? We provide same-day advice and assistance to you for up to 12 months as standard (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm).
