The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on 25th May 2018. The new regulations brought higher standards for handling personal data and greater expectations for improved transparency, enhanced data security and increased accountability for the processing of personal data.

Whitestone Infant School has a legal duty to comply with the requirements of the GDPR. The legislation brings with it the responsibility to inform parents and stakeholders about how we are using pupils' data and who it is being used by.
