Thank you - I've subscribed to this - i think it's going to become very useful.

Thanks. Attending GDPR meetings this Friday and Monday in Brussels and London with regulators and cross sector of child's rights' acdemics, technologists, industry and NGOs. We will be looking at questions of consent, profiling, age verification. Any questions (as regards for schools in public sector/ GDPR in general)? Please feel free to post them, and I will gather them up and respond next week after the discussions.

@jenatddm - might be worth starting a new thread to gather any questions for your trip, and the feedback.

Excellent move. Thank you

 

For those that don't know I'm working with a group of well known school focused developers to create a platform which will pull everything GDPR related in one place to show a school is GDPR compliant. We're trying to take the sting out of this huge directive that's coming our way.

 

Those that know me will be pleased to hear that I have nothing to do with the actual development but my role is to be the company guru on all things GDPR related and ensure the platform manages this correctly. If I'm not sure I take legal advice which was the case in one of my previous posts on Edugeek.

 

In my previous life I was the Founder and MD of the UK's largest schools' payment system. Those of you that know me from then, know I'll help freely wherever I can.

 

There's an awful lot of mis-information being banded about regarding GDPR. This will be a great place to get things right.
