GDPR will apply from 25 May 2018 and will replace the current Data Protection Act. Governors should be aware of the changes that are coming and how to ensure that their school is compliant. They will need to look at reviewing the school's policies and procedures, increasing staff awareness of the changes, appointing a Data Protection Officer, and consider an information audit. The session will cover the practical implications of the new regulations and give governors an opportunity to ask questions. |
