GDPR – are you ready?

With the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) coming into force in May 2018, preparations for understanding and adhering to the regulations are quite rightly a key focus for schools and companies alike.
In support of this, we are sponsoring a roadshow of seminars, focused specifically on GDPR for schools.
