The rules around data protection are changing with the introduction of the 'General Data Protection Regulation' (GDPR) which comes into effect on 25th May 2018. This will change how we can use personal data and keep it safe, and will also strengthen the individual’s rights over their data.
This will make sure sensitive or private information about parents and children stays safe. Whilst it is similar to the current Data Protection Act in many ways, there are a few differences, so we have made a few changes at the school in order to ensure we remain compliant.
Relevant documents are available below. Our Data Protection officer is Miss C Hancocks and she can be contacted via the school email office@goringprimary.org
Below you can find the schools latest Data Protection Policy along with a number of other helpful documents.
