Walkern Pre School | Ofsted Reports, Reviews (2025)

On May 25, 2018, the law governing data protection changed. DSPL2 is committed to making sure that they are in compliance with the new rules.
From May 2018, the DPA 1998 will be replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation which is often referred to as the GDPR.
Although many of the principles will remain the same as the DPA 1998, there will be some changes that will affect schools, local authorities, companies and businesses.
Schools and trusts have to comply with the DPA 1998 at the moment and the GDPR will applies to all sectors when it comes into force.
Therefore, DSPL2 has reviewed our current procedures to ensure that we meet the higher standards set out in the GDPR.
DSPL2 is committed to you complying with the GDPR principles, by implementing comprehensive but proportionate governance measures to meet this accountability requirement.
DSPL2 has implemented technical and organisational measures to show that we have integrated data protection into our processing activities.
DSPL2 already has privacy notices in place as a matter of good practice.
However, the privacy notices are now even more important tool to demonstrate transparency and it now contains more information to let settings know how we will use this personal data.
As well as the privacy notices, we will identify appropriate opportunities to ensure that we are being transparent with people about what we are doing with personal data.
Please note: Given that some of the guidance on the GDPR is still being drafted, there may be some further information and detail which is published by the ICO in the coming months which could have implications for schools and the steps we need to take to comply with the law.
