Thanks so much - and thanks for the PM - I've done as you suggested! That makes perfect sense that they have done that to prevent licensing abuse - and gives me hope that we can switch over to match up with our proper domain. We are trying to change to the official sch.uk domain so should be straightforward enough - for some reason the person who set up Gsuite did it on a totally different domain!

Hi Did you manage to change your primary domain? We have migrated all our email to Gmail from our Exchange server & changed mail records so that Gmail is now dealing with all our email... however, it won't let us change primary domain. Apparently this is not available for education without phoning google - when calling google we can't seem to speak to anyone who knows anything about how this might be possible. So now our email is working with our proper school domain, but on sign in everything still says 'managed by' the old domain (confusing for users & I suspect may have bigger implications!?) If anyone has been through this I would love to hear how you managed! Thanks Gayle

Just resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has gone down this route now - with GDPR and tighter photo consents we are looking to have a way of organising our images, ideally tagging them / facial recognition used to identify who is in each photo. Any thoughts welcome!

Would you suggest that we should be writing a standard contract that we ask companies / websites to sign up to, or that we should expect them to have a standard contract that we just 'agree' to when we are satisfied with it?

Thanks for this - just when I think I'm getting a handle on things it seems to snowball. Do we therefore need to get contracts in place with all our suppliers eg MIS, school photographer jumps out as those that would be important, but there's also so many websites that we sign up for use in one subject or another. Some of them say they are GDPR compliant but do we need to have some kind of written contract? I'm thinking about everything from kahoot, quizlet, dofe, ucas and then the small companies who are just used for one subject. What do we actually NEED in writing? Thanks!

Hi I am in the process of contacting our suppliers to see if they are GDPR Compliant. One has come back saying this is the first they have heard of GDPR (EEK!) - any thoughts on the best document / website to point them in the direction of to explain it simply? It's an educational website that the languages department use - kids do log into it. Thanks

I've filled in the sheet for Groupcall - see what you think - can fill in others as I do them and would be great if others could do the same!

Sure - I was looking at the Spreadsheet and there are no responses received though; if we have contacted suppliers should we just copy in the responses? Some of them refer to GDPR on their website privacy policies so we could put in links to them?

Hi Just wondering if it's worth some of us contacting individually and updating as we get replies? So that the onus is spread across the group? I would be happy to contact some & share results (otherwise I guess I"m contacting all myself anyway!) Thoughts?

Would love to know progress on this - and if you are still contacting new suppliers which we add to the document! Thanks for organising!
