The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) encourages organisations that are responsible for using people’s information to make sure it is clear why we need your information and how it is used. To help explain how your information is used we have published a Privacy Notice, which you can access above.
Information Asset Register (IAR)
An Information Asset Register is held by school and is regularly updated.
The asset register records assets, systems and applications used for processing or storing personal data across the school. The information within this register gives assurance that the school is meeting data protection obligations.
