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.

These targeted seminars, ‘Preparing for the New Data Protection Act (GDPR) – An Essential Legal Seminar for Schools’ will cover what is and isn’t changing, along with what you can prepare, in order to support your requirements for becoming GDPR compliant.

• What’s changing (and what’s not)
• Ways to prepare: Data protection “audit” v “health check” and “Data Mapping”
• Schools new obligations and individual legal rights
• The role of the School Data Protection Officer – who should it be?
