Free resources for school DP leads and GDPR information to share with parents

[maturelady]

Took a bit longer than I had hoped but here’s the first of a set of free resources. These are videos and Mind-map sheets.

 

The staff training one which you can use as part of your whole school awareness training is nearly ready and I will post later in the week.

 

I really would value feedback, both positive and negative.

Lynne this is excellent! Thanks for all the work you are doing with these resources. I look forward to the staff and parent ones in particular.

Thanks, my company GDPR in Schools, will continue to freely give resources to help. Please tell me what else you need.

 

There's some really good stuff coming from the DfE too - a GDPR Toolkit.

 

Suppliers are being targeted too - there's an open letter to suppliers advising them what schools will be expecting as many don't have a clue!

 

I know its taking time but I cannot stress enough to schools to stop panicking. The education sector is in a very good position today compared to their counterparts in businesses. We have always practised strict data protection rules as part of safeguard and internet safety. However, the new regulation is making people stop, think and reflect about what they are doing.

 

That's got to be a good thing as long as you don't let it take over.

Do you have a link to the open letter you mentioned?

[maturelady]

No it has to be signed off by the DfE

 

I assure you Edugeek will be first place we'll put it - I'm hoping sometime this week

Great to see something for parents (and children?) too. Lovely style and upbeat tunes! Remember biometrics, and that consent means genuinely there must be an alternative on offer. (Side note, 38% of parents asked recently who said their school was using biometrics, said they had not been offered any choice -- which means it's not consent, and therefore not lawfully processed today). Subject access rights and parental rights to access the Information Record are useful to separate too as they have different legislation, but don't apply to all schools equally. Looking forward to see what comes out from DfE on SAR at national level, and expectations of suppliers to enable data usage reports to help schools meet SAR at local level. The biggest gap IMO for many will be that the parents have little idea what schools hold and process today, and for example, the National Pupil Database needs a whole explainer of its own. (which may come later). [FYI survey stats on parents' starting point]. Looking forward to see what's next.
