The Department for Education (DfE) has updated its model privacy notices, often issued by schools and local authorities to parents, pupils and staff in relation to data collection. The privacy notices have been enhanced to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which comes into force in May 2018. The DfE highlights that these models are simply a recommendation; schools and local authorities are free to review and amend the wording to reflect their individual circumstances.
