How often should you do this?

The UK GDPR doesn't say how often you need to do this, but we'd recommend that you:

  • Always deliver an annual report 
  • Update governors whenever there is a data breach or other important development - you could notify the chair, tell the data protection link governor if you have one, or attend the full governing board or most relevant committee meeting
