On the 25 May 2018, the UK's Data Protection Act 1998 is being replaced by a new law called the GDPR (the EU General Data Regulation 2016). This law governs how we collect, use and share people's information and provides great rights to individuals and control over how their information is handled by organisations, including schools.
We're taking steps to review and up date our processes around how we are handling your information and have appointed an external Data Protection Officer, to help us get ready for the changes. We will publish more information about how we are meeting the GDPR on this page in due course. Please find a link to our updated privacy notice explaining how we handle pupil information, what rights you have and how to exercise them and our policies around this.
If in the meantime you would like to know more about the GDPR and your rights, please visit then UK's data protection regulator's website, the Information Commissionar's Office at: www.ico.org.uk
Should you have any queries regarding GDPR or you wish to contact Nicky Marsh who is our Data Protection Officer (DPO) then please email us at: lwps.office@coastalpartnership.co.uk
