UK GDPR
UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)
Under the UK GDPR, every organisation that holds personal information about people must be clear and honest about what it does with that information, from how it is collected and kept to who it is shared with and when it is securely disposed of.
To meet this responsibility, Riviera Education Trust has reviewed the personal data held across each of our schools. This review is not a one-off exercise: we revisit it on an ongoing basis so that our records of how we handle personal data stay up to date and our practices continue to meet the requirements of the law.
At the heart of the UK GDPR is the principle that personal data must be handled lawfully, fairly and openly. For every purpose for which we use personal data, we identify the legal basis that allows us to do so. That legal basis matters, because it can determine which data protection rights an individual is able to exercise.

Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Riviera Education Trust has appointed Data Protection Education (DPE) as our Data Protection Officer (DPO). DPE monitors how our Data Protection Policy is put into practice across the Trust and supports us in meeting our obligations under the UK GDPR.
