Data Protection Services for Schools and Trusts
Benefit from our extensive knowledge and shared best practice of a whole team of education data protection professionals - providing expert advice and guidance when you need it.
In recent years, schools have seen a significant rise in Subject Access Requests (SARs) and data breaches, driven largely by growing public awareness of data rights.
As more individuals become informed about their rights under data protection laws, schools are facing increased scrutiny and compliance challenges.

Our comprehensive Data Protection service is designed to strengthen your data protection strategy, ensuring compliance with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) while creating a secure environment for pupils and staff alike.
From annual audits and policy development to tailored training for employees, we provide expert guidance, advise on best practices, and support robust data management practices.
