Data Privacy Compliance Experts
Ametros Group helps public and private sector schools comply with the EU GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 through an outsourced DPO service that is designed to reduce risk and lower the burden of data privacy compliance. Schools are required to appoint a data privacy officer, someone who has expert knowledge and experience in matters pertaining to data protection law.
Do we need a Data Protection Officer?
As a principle of a public or private school you will wondering about the data protection officer requirements under GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA2018) and how it will apply to your school and how it may affect your budget. The simple answer is if your school is a maintained school or academy, then it is classed as a public authority and, under the GDPR and DPA2018 must appoint a data protection officer.
Who can be the Data Protection Officer?
The data protection officer must be an individual or organisation that does not hold a conflict of interest which could result in the rights of data subject not being protected under the spirit of the law. Data Protection Officers must report to the highest levels within the organisation and be free to conduct and exercise their obligations to protect personal data under the law. To avoid any conflicts of interest and to ensure your school has the expertise it needs to respond to privacy matters its widely recommended that the Data Protection Officer should be an external appointment to your organisation.
