Data Protection

The Trust is aware of its responsibilities under the latest Data Protection Act in England, including those imposed under UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). The Trust belives that protecting the data it holds about its children is a fundamental part of its safeguarding process and treats it with as much importance as protecting the child themselves.

All staff understand the need to protect the privacy of the children in their care as well as the legal requirements that exist to ensure that information relating to the child is handled in a way to ensure confidentiality. Parents and carers are given access to all records about their child provided that no relevant exemptions (information which could cause harm to the child or any other individual) apply to their disclosure under the DPA.

UK GDPR imposes more stringent requirements on entities that deal with people's personal data. In the academy/school, this applices to all personally identifiable information held on staff, children and parents. The Trust is fully committed to ensuring that it upholds the new rights granted to a person under UK GDPR. A Data Protection Officer (DPO) has been appointed to the Trust, as required under this regulation.

The Data Protection Officer is responsible for overseeing data protection within the school; if you have any questions regarding this please contact them using the information below:
