Data Privacy
The Data Protection Act 2018 (the Act) puts in place certain safeguards regarding the use of personal data by organisations, including the Department for Education (DfE), local authorities, schools and other education providers. The Act gives rights to those about whom data is held (known as data subjects), such as pupils, their parents and teachers. This includes:
the right to know the types of data being held
why it is being held, and
to whom it may be disclosed
Should you have any concerns relating to how your information or the information relating to your child/ren is being or will be used, please contact your Provider or Hull City Council. Please note that the information about whether a child is in receipt of Disability Living Allowance is, under the Act, Special Category Data which should be handled appropriately. Providers are asked to pay particular note to advice from the Information Commissioners Office on holding personal data including sensitive personal data available at:
https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/principle-3-adequacy/A ‘privacy notice’ is a good way to be able to meet data subject’s rights and therefore DfE recommend they are used to explain to parents, pupils and staff how their data is being used. They should be reviewed, amending as necessary to reflect business need and ideally include the link to the
gov.uk webpage on how the department collects and shares data. It is recommended that the privacy notice be included as part of an induction pack for staff and be put on the school website for parents, as well as potentially featured on the staff notice board/intranet. They do not need to be issued on an annual basis as long as new pupils and staff are made aware of the notices and they are readily available electronically or in paper format.
