In early 2020, we published guidance to our schools about handling Freedom of Information requests. It still remains one of the most popular blog posts on our website! You can find the post here:

 

Dealing with Freedom of Information Requests In School

If you are dealing with freedom of information requests in school read our blog for more information on subject access requests and school responsibilities

There seem to be an increasing number of requests coming in to schools at the moment and recently, a number of requesters have also asked schools to click on links and fill in surveys or forms.

We have decided to publish some updated guidance based on the latest questions from schools to supplement the guidance from our 2020 post:

Understanding Valid FOI Requests

Cybersecurity and Online Surveys

Best Practice for Schools


Refusal of Requests

Final Notes

Further information on a range of data protection topics is available on our blog.

If you have any other questions, please contact us at DPO@schoolpro.uk.

Looking forward to a great academic year ahead!
