The Europe-wide General Data Protection Regulation is coming into effect 25 May 2018 - that's only a few weeks away so if you haven't been preparing for it, now is the time!
This legislation will affect every Irish business and will have particular impact on companies that handle sensitive data. This is especially true of early years service providers, who are handling the most sensitive of data, that connected to children.
Building data privacy and protection into your early years’ services touches every part of your service from parents, children, staff to your suppliers and contracts you have with compliance and funding authorities.
We are now offering a GDPR Pack provided by Canavan Byrne, the early years and HR specialists. By ordering the GDPR Pack and closely following our guidelines for implementation, you will be ensuring that you are fulfiling your responsibilities in this complex area. The GDPR Pack will guide you painlessly to
- develop a clear privacy programme
- educate staff and families as to your procedures and policies
- document your commitment to data protection and compliance with regulations
Our GDPR Pack contains:
- Guide to using the GDPR Pack
- New Child Registration Form Template
- New Employment Application Form Template
- Data Protection Policy and Procedures (50+ pages)
If you are interested in a preview of the process to bring your service up to date with the GDPR, you can read the Guide to using the GDPR Pack for Early Years Services here.
