SecEd has recently published an article from Al Kingsley (MD of NetSupport and chair of a multi academy trust) discussing the effects of GDPR in schools.
He explains ” On May 25, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect, which leaves schools little time to get prepared. Until very recently, local authorities had not provided enough clear information to schools on how they should be tackling the issue. Thus, schools have been left to decipher what is fact vs fiction and what are the right and wrong ways to handle the requirements from the mixed messages they receive. There are many voices on GDPR, from those warning schools about the risks to those which are simply scaremongering”.
Al continues with an overview of how schools can best prepare for GDPR.
