Hi everyone i've just had a strange conversation with the ICO. We are a large organisation that already has several entries on the register covering the different legal entities that make up the organisation. However, we also run several schools, pre-schools and nurseries, although they are not maintained schools and are part of one of the aforementioned legal entities. My understanding was that they would fall under our main notifications, however the notifications helpline have mooted the possibility that - as i'm aware local authorities do - we may need to register each school and similar establishment seperately. Has anybody come across the before? We are voluntary not public sector.
