1. Introduction ~~_~~

1. Introduction

For the year ended 31st August 2023, S4S carried out one internal control review for Education Impact Academy Trust, during June 2023.

The review was commissioned by the Trust Board of the academy to provide external scrutiny of compliance with data protection legislation and ICO good practice guidelines.

• A desktop evaluation of policy and discussions with key staff have been used to gain a benchmark of the Trust’s compliance profile. Further review was undertaken during onsite visits which focused on working practices.

• The onsite review took the form of site walks, where individuals and groups of staff were questioned about their roles in relation the management of personal data.

• All staff who took part in this process were accommodating (visits took place during the school day), open about their awareness and understanding of data protection responsibilities and honest about their working practices.

• Across the Trust there has been recent changes in staffing and the roles undertaken by employees. In some schools, there is also a currently a re-allocation of how the learning and office spaces are used. Recommendations included take account of recent and planned changes in processing at school.

Extracts from the individual report are detailed on the following pages.

2. Summary of Recommendations oe

A suggested priority of action/response has been indicated as follows:

Ls LOW (green) - Does not present an immediate risk or require urgent attention, but should be considered as part of ongoing compliance

management

MED (yellow) - Non-urgent issues, presents a risk of breach, or compromises ability to meet compliance if not addressed Ld HIGH (red) - Current non-compliance, urgent issues and likely cause of breach if not resolved

[0.0] – references the relevant paragraph(s) in the main report

1. The Executive Team to continue to support the DPO with the performance of Articles 38 and 39, by providing ready access to information, systems and independent decision making in order to support Trust compliance activities (LOW) [2.8] 7

2. The DPO to produce a shortened annual Data Protection Compliance plan linked to significant developments and strategic objectives. This would assist the termly monitoring of compliance progress, prompt the undertaking of regular tasks, support governance reporting and provide evidence if required to the ICO on awareness of risk. (LOW) [2.13, 2.14] 7

4

1. The Data Protection Officer Report produced for Trust Board to outline the current risk status for each school in relation to data protection compliance. The report should include a summary of ongoing or planned activities RAG rated to demonstrate progress and issues which require decisions. (MED) [2.19]

2. The DPO to support the Trust Board with training on monitoring and applying scrutiny to data protection compliance. This should include encouraging Board or members of a relevant committee to proactively commission advice from the DPO in advance of decision making where appropriate. (MED) [2.20, 2.21]

3. The DPO to conduct termly site walks aimed at monitoring compliance, assessing risk and informing communications to staff/the Board. MED [2.20]

4. The DPO to complete Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) where necessary, prior to Trust decisions being finalised. DPIAs should support decision making and where strategic plans trigger changes to the systems or operational practice. For example, should a new academy join the Trust, it would be expected that a DPIA should assist in identifying any serious risks, or disparities in compliance, prior to date the Trust takes formal responsibility for another establishment. These assessments should not be a prohibitive stage in change management, but should instead, strengthen the ability to manage change effectively and minimising the potential of organisational non-compliance, or unnecessary exposure to the risk of breach. (MED) [2.23]

5

1. The DPO to issue at reminder to all staff about the importance of data security, advising specifically on:

2. Locking rooms containing sensitive records when left unattended

3. Logging off or locking sessions on laptops and desktops when leaving classrooms and offices (MED) [3.2-3.5]

4. The DPO to visit schools following the completion of office moves and staff relocation to assess the appropriate transfer of records and security of record storage (LOW) [3.7] SS

5. The Trust to recommend a structure for the structure of HR/Personnel records to be adopted by all schools. This will support the management of the accuracy, completeness and currency of records. LOW [3.10] _

7. 1. The DPO to work with the IT Team and representatives from schools to consider a consistent approach to using school home communications technologies. This should take place after, or as part of the implementation of the new MIS. This should take into account:

8. Maintaining and updating the accuracy of pupil/parent data

9. Helping to manage consent processes

10. Improving the transparency of information to help reduce requests

11. Reducing the risk of breaches as a result of inappropriate data sharing SS (LOW) [3.13]

6

1. The DPO to review the data protection policy, CCTV policy and information collected for the CCTV DPIA to ensure consistency in approach. (MED) [3.20, 5.4]

2. The DPO to produce a simple procedural guide for the management of information captured by CCTV systems. This should include clear guidance for staff on the review, export and sharing of footage to support incident management and information rights requests. (MED) [3.22]

3. The DPO to produce a summary “dos and don’ts” document outlining expected standards of handling personal data and reporting breach incidents for use with temporary staff and as part of induction processes (MED) [3.26, 5.10, 5.11]

4. Office Managers to produce updated lists of pupils with allergies and dietary needs including pupil photos for use by catering staff (ideally displayed in view of serving staff). (MED) [4.12]

5. All staff to be issued with a reminder of how to access the internal Staff Hub SharePoint site (LOW) [5.9] SS

6. The DPO to support the IT Operations Manager to conduct an internal review of cyber-security against NCSC standards and guidance for organisations. The DPO to review and add comment/recommend action where appropriate. (MED) [6.2]

7

1. The DPO to actively support the implementation of the new MIS by issuing advice on risk during the pre and post migration stages of the project (MED) [6.5 – 6.7]

2. Domain security policies to prevent the use of portable removable storage should be reviewed. Preferably with the use of such devices being disabled to minimise the cyber security threat presented. (MED) (6.12)

3. Standard and consistent records management practice to be adopted across all schools in the Trust. This should include:

4. Administration staff being made directly accountable for records management processes

5. Adoption of indexing and labelling system for archived manual records

6. Maintenance of disposals log

7. Archived records to be reviewed against retention schedules

8. (MED) [3.27, 3.28, 3.29]

9. DPO to provide process-based training to key roles responsible for handling high volumes of personal data. This should include more detailed information on the handling of personal data including data quality improvement, data sharing, data security and supporting the collation of records information requests management (LOW) [7.2, 10.7]

8

1. The DPO to establish a review process to check where online service providers meet the new standards of compliance set out in the ICO’s Children’s Code. (LOW) [8.8]

2. The DPO and School Leaders to issue a reminder to all staff on the Trust process for breach reporting (MED) [9.4]

3. The DPO and School Leaders to issue a reminder to all staff on the Trust process for reporting information requests (MED) [10.6]
