Privacy Policy<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Your School and Renfrewshire Council take the privacy of your personal data very seriously. You have a right to be informed about how the Council uses information about you. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 and What Does it Mean for me as a Parent\/carer?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A privacy notice is a statement about how personal information obtained by your school and the Council will be used. Your school will have to make sure that when it requires information from you that there is a clear explanation of what is required, what it will be used for and how long the information will be retained for. <\/span><\/p>\n

Annually this will happen when the data check is undertaken and when contacting you about educational trips and excursions. <\/span><\/p>\n

We have set out below what information we collect, how we collect it, what we do with it, who we share it with and why. This privacy notice will also enable your personal data to be shared with other departments in the Council and only as appropriate e.g. with educational psychologists, the additional support needs team or social work.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are key external agencies with whom we need to share your data in order that the Council and specifically Education Services has a secure system to manage your personal data. These are listed on the privacy notice too. Your school will be able to provide you with further explanation about what these key agencies are if you require further information<\/span><\/p>\n

You can contact Renfrewshire Council on 0300 300 0300 if you have any questions about how your school look after your information. The Data Protection Officer, Allison Black, Managing Solicitor, <\/i>can be contacted on:<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Council\u2019s lawful basis for using the personal information?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The Council has a legal obligation to ensure that there is an adequate and efficient school and further education system within Renfrewshire Council. If you do not provide us with the personal information we have asked for then the Council will not be able to provide this statutory education to the pupil.<\/span><\/p>\n

This legal obligation is set out under:<\/span><\/p>\n

Education (Scotland) Act 1980<\/span><\/p>\n

Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014<\/span><\/p>\n

When necessary to support the pupil\u2019s access to education and meet this legal obligation, the personal information may be shared internally between departments of the Council. Personal information about pupils can be shared with Social Work and Educational Psychology in order to put in place support for learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

To meet the requirements of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980, the personal information will also be shared with:<\/span><\/p>\n

SEEMIS, the Council\u2019s Education Management Information System (MIS) provider. This sharing is required in order that the Council has a secure and effective way to record information about the Council\u2019s pupils.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA), to enable schools to process personal data for exams in S4 \u2013 S6.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further Education (FE) Colleges, to enable placements at FE Colleges Senior Phase programme in S4 \u2013 S6 as part of the programme for vocational qualifications. <\/span><\/p>\n

Health professionals where a pupil requires urgent medical attention, for example on a Council activity or excursion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some pupil data may be processed on the Council\u2019s behalf by external contractors. In any such case, there will be a binding agreement that they will keep this data secure and process this only for the educational purpose instructed by the Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long will the personal information be held for?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
