Drawing on decades of knowledge and professional experience in data governance and process management, we deliver cost-effective DPO outsourcing that allows organisations to develop and maintain a clear and specific data protection compliance strategy with ease.

“We are proud to represent over 300 clients across the globe, ensuring data subject rights are correctly upheld under the requirements of the GDPR”

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.

GDPR Compliance

Ametros Group has been helping schools in the UK to achieve and maintain data privacy standards since 2018. We become your schools outsourced data protection officer (DPO), and as your outsourced DPO we ensure you get the support and guidance you need to comply.
