Download our template record

Find the template in the tab 'record of processing activities'. It includes entries for personal data that schools commonly process.

Processing here means anything done to personal data, such as collecting, recording, organising, structuring, storing, adapting, altering, retrieving, using, disseminating, erasing or destroying. It can be manual or automated. 

However, the template doesn't contain a complete list, so you'll need to add and/or delete entries as necessary.

Read on to find out how to populate and maintain your record.

How you must populate your record

You must record the information listed in columns A to K to be compliant with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

The information listed in the rest of the columns is useful and helps support good practice, but isn't necessary to comply with requirements.
