From 25th May 2018 GDPR the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable.
Westbourne Primary School is proactively engaged with the compliance requirements of the Data Protection Legislation (GDPR) and is registered as a "Data Controller" with the Information Commissioners Office (Reg No. Z6444159)
The Data Protection Officer (DPO) for Westbourne Primary School is Mrs Heather Baverstock.
We will continue to ensure that your personal data is processed fairly and lawfully, is accurate, is kept secure and is retained for no longer than is necessary.
Our pupils and Parents
At Westbourne Primary School we have taken steps to ensure all data kept at school and with our third party suppliers are protected and secure. We have and will continue to keep parents informed on the data we are required to keep either on paper in a locked file or on our secure server.
West Sussex schools have identified secure ways in which to share files within the county either when a pupil leaves or is new to the school.
Why do we hold personal data?
The main reason that our school processes personal data is because it is necessary in order to comply with the schools legal obligations and to enable us to perform tasks carried out in the public interest.
Our Staff and Governors
At Westbourne Primary School our staff and governors have a clear understanding of data handling in order to minimise the risk of Personal Data Breaches.
We have updated our school server this year to ensure data is secure while staff are working in the school and also working form home.
We have introduced a ban on all USB sticks to store information.
All staff must take photos of staff/pupils on a school device and not personal devices.
We are undertaking an extensive data mapping exercise of all our personal data processing activities to ensure that the processing is compliant with data protection legislations. This is led by our DPO and we will continue to update and improve on this exercise. All our contracts with third party suppliers are being reviewed to ensure they are compliant with the requirements of the new data protection legislation.
