Schools deal with a huge amount of personal data — from safeguarding records to medical notes and parent contact details. Yet, according to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), education is one of the top sectors for reported data breaches in the UK.

This short course is designed for anyone working in a school, nursery or college. It explains how to handle data securely, when consent is needed, and what to do if something goes wrong. You’ll also learn how to spot risks when sharing information with colleagues, parents, or outside agencies.

By the end, you'll know how to meet your legal duties under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act — and help keep your school compliant and your pupils protected.

Protecting pupil data is everyone’s responsibility.
