Schools and trusts process personal data relating to pupils, staff and other stakeholders and so must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Day-to-day compliance activity is carried out by school leaders and staff. However, governing boards are ultimately responsible for ensuring their school or trust is GDPR compliant.

Use our GDPR monitoring checklist to learn about the essential data protection practice that boards should ensure is in place.

The checklist covers the following themes:

  • data protection policy
  • the role of data protection officer (DPO)
  • staff data protection training
  • reviewing and auditing GDPR practice
