Privacy notice guide

4. Privacy notices for school staff and pupils

It is recommended that the privacy notice for school staff and pupils is made available on the school website and must be made available or highlighted as part of any data collection process.

 

For new staff members it is recommended that the privacy notice is included as part of an induction pack and is available on the staff notice board / intranet. Existing staff members must be made aware of the privacy notice at the start of each school year.

 

Privacy Notices should be reviewed by your data protection officer on at least an annual basis and should also be reviewed whenever you make a significant change to how you process personal data. 

 

Suggested text for the notices for staff and pupils are available to download at Gov.uk, you must review and amend these documents to reflect local needs and circumstances, as you will process data that isn’t solely for use within data collections. The notices should be issued to new pupils and staff as they arrive in school.
