Use our model data breach procedure

We've created a model data breach procedure based on guidance on personal data breaches from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Download the procedure and adapt to reflect your school's context. 

Approved by Forbes Solicitors, all of our model documents take account of relevant requirements and good practice. They're easy to adapt, will save you time and help you keep your school compliant.

This document can also be found as an appendix to our model data protection policy.
