The new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) law came into place on May 25th 2018, which means you must ensure all academies within your Trust are fully compliant with the regulations.
For schools and academies, these new regulations mean that they will need to:
- Appoint a new Data Protection Officer.
- Review and re-issue updated privacy notices in detail.
- Gain consent from the pupils (or if under 13, the parent) in order to store their personal data.
- To ensure processes are in place to detect, report and investigate data breaches.
As education data experts, Groupcall are are perfectly placed to offer an end-to-end solution that supports for your Academy Trusts working towards compliance.
