There are two ways that HFL Education can help you and your school Data Protection Officer (DPO) to manage your Data Protection and GDPR compliance processes more effectively and efficiently.
Our GDPR Toolkit subscription service option provides access to GDPR and data protection management resources as well as support by phone or email.
If your DPO requires extra support, you can take advantage of our DPO Service, which offers a more bespoke solution, providing more practical guidance tailored to specific issues and challenges.
Every school is required by law to have a DPO but the specialised nature of GDPR and how it affects the education sector means many academies and trusts struggle to appoint the right individual. If you face a similar challenge in your DPO recruitment, we can act as your DPO until you successfully appoint.
