GDPR

At Ysgol Glannau Gwaun we realise the importance of safeguarding and protecting all data collected.  As a school, we collect information about children and young people and their parents or legal guardians when children and young people enrol at the School. The School also collects information at other key times during the school year and may receive information from other schools or early years providers when children and young people transfer.

The School processes the information it collects to administer the education it provides to children and young people. For example:

• the provision of educational services to individuals;
• monitoring and reporting on pupils’/children’s educational progress;
• the provision of welfare, pastoral care and health services;
• the giving of support and guidance to children and young people, their parents and legal guardians;
• the organisation of educational events and trips and to inform you about events and other things happening in the school
• to keep children safe (food allergies, or emergency contact details)
•  the planning and management of the school

To meet the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force in May 2018, all organisations handling personal data, including schools, need to have the right governance measures.
