GDPR and Data Protection
The Government introduced new legislation in June 2018 known as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This affects all organisations that hold personal data including schools.
Schools are authorised by law to hold and share necessary data for the provision of education, and the GDPR changes do not change this legal authority.
East Morton CE Primary has always taken the privacy and security of our pupil data very seriously and we have worked hard to ensure that we are compliant with the new regulations. Our Executive Business Manager, Suzanne Wahed undertakes the role of Data Protection Co-ordinator for the school and the Trust Data Protection Officer is Leanne Noone, Deputy Chief Finance Officer.
As a member of Bradford Diocesan Academy Trust, we have adopted BDAT’s GDPR Privacy Notices for Pupils, Parents and Staff. These can be accessed on the Trust website: www.bdat.org. Should you require paper copies of these documents, please contact the school.
If you have any questions about data protection or GDPR, please contact Suzanne Wahed, our Data Protection Co-ordinator.
