Data Protection & GDPR- where to find advice



Childcare settings need to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulations 2018 (GDPR 2018) which, in May 2018, will replace the Data Protection Act.

Don’t panic – if your setting was compliant with the Data Protection Act it is probably mostly compliant with the GDPR as well.

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) website has lots of tools, tips and updates especially for small businesses and a useful self-assessment tool.
