The documents can be downloaded from here under the GDPR category The GDPR Action Plan for Schools is a cut down version of the ICO 12 step plan and tailored to schools. The Data Audit spreadsheet is the starting point for schools and may look a bit daunting at first but we have completed as much of it as possible with info that may be common across schools and once done this should give you a of your data really useful ‘map’ and help with evidencing compliance with the if some of new regulations. Don’t worry this does not make sense as it will form the basis of a large part of the training session and it will be explained in detail then. The Data Security Policy template is straightforward and just needs updating with your school specific contexts and information. There are also 3 draft Privacy Notices, one for younger (mainly early years and primary pupils) and one for pupils above 13 and one for the school workforce. You will see that they are much longer than current notices as a lot more detail needs to be included in them. They are also currently drafts as we are seeking legal advice on their compliance
