This Data Protection and the GDPR for Schools online training course will make you aware of the General Data Protection Regulation and why it is needed. The course provides examples from a school setting to explain how the GDPR impacts schools and childcare providers.
The course includes guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office and the EU’s Article 29 Working Party. It identifies key differences between the requirements of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) that it replaces.
The course takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete.
Why is Data Protection and the GDPR training important?
GDPR applies to all businesses and organisations which are responsible for handling personal data. This includes schools and childcare providers who collect and process personal data about children, their families and their staff. Everyone in an education setting, who has access to personal data, has accountability for the data and therefore they must adhere to GDPR. So this GDPR training is a great way to ensure that staff are aware of the steps they need to take to comply with GDPR.
Knowledge of the GDPR is also essential to prevent data breaches and leaks. Trained employees who understand the importance of the GDPR and personal data protection will be more attentive and mindful when it comes to handling and storing data securely and they will understand the implications of a breach. This is essential to ensure the safety and privacy of children, their families and staff. Failure to protect personal data and adhere to the GDPR can result in serious consequences, including significant fines.
Read our article on the 7 principles of GDPR, which explains the key rules for processing individuals’ personal data. Understanding and following the GDPR principles is essential to keeping personal information safe and complying with the GDPR.
