GDPR

General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Europe’s new framework for data protection – it came into force on 25^th May 2018 at the same time as the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018).

Since the UK left the EU the GDPR has become the UK GDPR and sits alongside the DPA 2018, and this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

These new regulations work together to control the way information is collected, stored, and processed. Many organisations including schools, academies and other education establishments now operate within this new legal framework.

Lyme Community Primary is working with NexusProtect in order to become compliant with these new rules and regulations and we have altered many of our policies and procedures in order to better protect the data we hold about our pupils, parents and staff.
