Training Education

Overview of the program

This program has been created in a specific way to ensure the best possible outcome in implementing the GDPR within your school through;

  • Awareness sessions
  • Education specific training courses
  • Hands on workshops
  • Data Protection Officer Mentoring 
  • Resource kit (Inc. handouts, templates and example policies and procedures).

...all of which have been based around a unique resource kit and designed, in conjunction with the onsite consultancy options,  to support a school in awareness and implementation of the GDPR whilst creating a privacy culture.

The program has now been delivered to over 600 schools either direct or on behalf of local authorities or GDPR Consortium partners.

 

Economy of scale

The GDPR Consortium understands the limited budgets schools have available and therefore have created a set day rate to your school which allows you to either add in a number of courses to fill the day i.e. SLT awareness, gatekeepers and all staff briefings within the same day or alternatively, and especially on some of the full day courses such as gatekeeper and chief privacy officer courses, allow schools to invite other neighbouring schools in order to spread the cost.

Delivery

The training is delivered by a number of trainers who are GDPR Practitioners, CIPP/E certified, members of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and have extensive experience of the education sector...

All course materials are provided including printed delegate handouts with presenter notes and an electronic copy of the course materials, including the resource kit link, for future referral and internal school use.
