Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a piece of legislation that determines how people's personal data is processed and kept safe, and the legal rights individuals have in relation to their own data.

For the purposes of GDPR The Elliot Foundation Multi Academy Trust is the 'data controller'. The Data Protection Officer for the trust is Katie Stobbart who can be contacted on katie.stobbart@elliotfoundation.co.uk.

Each of our academies is a 'data processor' with a named Local Compliance Officer and their details can be found on each academy website.

Across the trust we work to identify and monitor the use of personal data, to undertake the necessary processes for auditing and assessing risk and to ensure that policies are in place to support our schools to sustain compliance.

IT and Internet Acceptable Use

Data Retention Schedule

This lists and justifies the specific length of time we must keep different types of data, such as student or staff records. This schedule is mandated by the UK GDPR's 'Storage Limitation' principle to ensure personal data is kept for no longer than is necessary for its original purpose. By defining systematic disposal procedures, it reduces data risk, maintains compliance with legal requirements, and demonstrates our accountability.
