GDPR: Schools' FAQs
Following the recent GDPR workshops with schools, EA has begun to develop a set of FAQs to address a range of queries that have been raised by Principals and others. This document will be updated regularly.
Useful Resources
Handling Personal Information
EA has developed some useful resources which can be printed and used in school to remind staff of the need to carefully handle personal information.
Remove 'Auto Complete' on Outlook
It is recommended by the Information Governance Team that auto-complete should be turned off as best practice. To assist, the Information Governance Team have prepared a Delete Autocomplete Poster which explains how this can be done.
Sending personal information via email
The Information Governance Team have prepared guidance to assist when sending personal information via email. This will help reduce the risk of unauthorised disclosure of personal data.
ICO Promotional Materials
The ICO has published a helpful pack of materials including posters and leaflets which can be printed and used in school to remind staff of the need to carefully handle personal information.
