Independent Schools handle a significant amount of data about pupils, parents, staff and others. Much of this data is highly sensitive and can pose risks if it is not properly managed.
More people, including parents and staff, are becoming aware of the way in which the data protection legislation can be used, creating an additional administrative burden for schools. For example, parents may use their right to make a subject access request under the GDPR to try and obtain information which might assist them in relation to a claim against the school.
