GDPR
On the 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force in the UK. These new data protection regulations build upon the Data Protection Act of 1998.
The GDPR require public authorities and businesses to identify the lawful basis for storing personal data, audit information we already hold and take a ‘data protection by design and default’ approach to personal data.
We take data protection very seriously at Featherstone Wood Primary and Nursery School. In line with GDPR requirements, we have appointed a Data Protection Officer, John Simpkin, to oversee our approach to data management and protection.
In order to ensure that we comply with the new regulations, we review our policies and practices in line with our policy review schedule. We have updated our privacy notices in line with these requirements.
As part of this compliance process, the consent forms/home school agreements were also updated. The new regulations are clear that consent must be up-to-date and clearly recorded. From now on, lack of response cannot be interpreted as implied consent. We therefore ask that you return these to us promptly.
