General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
On the 25 May 2018, the UK’s Data Protection Act 1998 was replaced by a new law called the GDPR (the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016). This law governs how we collect, use and share people’s information and provides greater rights to individuals and control over how their information is handled by organisations, including schools.
We have an external Data Protection Officer who supports us with ensuring we are compliant with GDPR regulations. Please find a link to our privacy notices explaining how we handle pupil information, what rights you have and how to exercise them and our policies around this.
If you would like to know more about GDPR and your rights, please visit the UK’s data protection regulator’s website, the Information Commissioner’s Office, at www.ico.org.uk
Should you have any queries regarding GDPR or you wish to contact Amber Badley who is our Data Protection Officer (DPO) then please email us at: admin@west-hill-primary-west-hill-devon.sch.uk
