Description
This is a package of online training courses including our “Data Protection” for school staff courses, “Child Protection – the Essentials in Education” course with Jane Bee Safeguarding, and the National Cyber Security Centre’s “Cyber Security Training for School Staff” course.
Data Protection
The UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 added extra responsibilities to all schools. As schools and multi academy trusts handle personal data, they must ensure that they are aware of the new rules and must examine the processes they currently have in place to ensure they continue to comply with the law. This includes ensuring all employees are aware of their own responsibilities when it comes to keeping personal data safe.
By completing these courses, school employees will learn; their main responsibilities and how they can start making the required changes towards data protection compliance, the 6 lawful bases for processing data, the role of their appointed Data Protection Officer, and receive tips and tricks on how to mitigate risks that could lead to data breaches.
Child Protection – the Essentials in Education
The overarching aim of this course, is to ensure all staff in education know and understand their responsibilities in safeguarding children in line with the latest legislation. By completing this course, school employees will learn;
- the importance of Safeguarding and Child Protection including Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023 (KCSiE), Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 (multi-agency responsibilities) and Early Help;
- the 4 types of abuse as well as Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and FGM including what to look out for and how to respond; and
- how to respond to and refer a disclosure or concern.

Much More Engaging
I actually thought it was much more engaging than the material I had to read for other clients. One provided me with half a tree of paper and a highlighter pen!
Served as a Good Refresher
I’ve just completed it and it was easy to complete and informative and served as a good refresher on key points regarding keeping data secure. It was also presented in a much more user friendly manner than some of my other clients had me do back in 2018 when GDPR first came into effect!
