Hi Derek
We're currently looking at this. We still have over 100 maintained schools here at Leicester and simply do not have the capacity to offer all of them a DPO under a traded service. We have no idea what their level of need may be or even a rough guestimate of time needed per school so cannot estimate costs. We may pilot it with some schools in the Autumn to work out their resource requirements.
Am very concerned about schools being offered DPO services from outside companies who charge them too much or do not know what GDPR is really about.
I think potential costs are going to be a huge shock to schools but cannot see how they will be able to have an in house DPO as yet, no-one will currently qualify as one.
We will be offering training, briefing, new policies, guidance etc to our maintained schools in the Autumn, and will suggest one way of approaching it is that they get together in their development groups to look at how they can approach the requirement I think.
Lynn

Subject: [data-protection] DPO role Schools
Coming from a L/A angle, how do people envisage the DPO role under GDPR being fulfilled in schools given that they are DC's in their own right - is it feasible that the DPO for the L/A (whoever that might be) could undertake the role?
At present the Info Gov Unit will provide any amount of advice and assistance if/when required.
Br grateful for any views.
Regards
