The Department has published an update to its guidance on data protection for schools to include a new section on subject access requests and one on handling information rights requests.

The policies and processes schools and multi-academy trusts need to protect personal data and respond effectively to a personal data breach.

This toolkit will help school staff, governors and trustees:

• understand how to comply with data protection law

• develop their data policies and processes

• know what staff and pupil data to keep

• follow good practices for preventing personal data breaches
   

This advice is intended for maintained schools and academies. Independent schools are welcome to use it where appropriate.
