What's your LA, MAT, service provider, suppliers doing about GDPR?

I thought it may be interesting to share with others the level of support, information, courses or even funding your LA, MAT, Service Provider, 3rd party processor has offered for the introduction of GDPR.

 

1. What communication have you received about the changes?
   
2. Have you been offered any courses to understand GDPR better and if so were they free?
   
3. Are you being contacted by professional organisations that would not normally support schools?
   
4. If you have been given any costs could you share them?
   
5. What are your 3rd party data processors saying about their plans?
   

 

 

Once we have a good selection I'll collate a spreadsheet and share - save you reading every post.

This is quite an important question ... I've just been asking the same in a Governors' group ... quite wide range of responses.

 

Also just seen the same conversation start in the ICT & CS FB group too.

 

If you don't want to publicly post, please PM me and I'll put it up.

I was not on the course our LA ran, but from what I can tell our LA answered lots of the questions put to them by the schools by simply saying, it's down to each school to interpret the information, one school might come to a different decision to another school. They may offer a costed service but at the moment it seems to me they will be simply passing on any information as they get it.
