Outsourced Data Protection for Schools
Working with Schools to ensure they meet their data privacy obligations
Affordable outsourced data protection officer service designed for schools
Schools can hold personal data relating to children, parents, staff and governors, among others. Modernising technology and adapting to new methods of parental communication and child development tracking represents a risk to data subject access rights under GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
Ametros Group provides expert data privacy guidance and data protection officer outsourcing, enabling schools and education providers to affordably meet their obligations under data privacy regulations. Building trust with families while reducing operational and technological risk.

What is a Data Protection Officer?
The chief responsibility of a DPO is to ensure that the school or education provider they represent is informed of their obligations under the GDPR, and to provide the advice necessary on how to comply with those duties.
Can anyone be a Data Protection Officer?
The DPO can be a member of staff, or it can be outsourced on the basis of a service contract. Either way, they will have expert knowledge of the GDPR and report to the highest level of management.
The DPO must be allowed to operate in an independent manner; they must not receive instructions on how to perform their duties; complete their tasks, or the advice they give.
Who should NOT be the Data Protection Officer?
The DPO must not perform any other duties that could result in a conflict of interest.
Conflicting positions may include management roles such as the Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster, Bursar, head of HR or IT. Anyone who decides how or why personal data is processed.
