GDPR and its application to schools
The countdown is on!
Judicium will keep client schools up to date with any significant events in the build up to May 2018. As schools are currently preparing themselves by reviewing their data processes, we have set out below how we are able to assist you in being compliant with the new regulations: -
Data Protection Policy
We aim to provide an updated data protection policy for all compliance clients in February/March 2018, prior to the Easter break. Schools who intend to adopt Judicium’s policy will then need to ensure they make the necessary arrangements for implementation ahead of 25th May 2018.
Legal Support Service
Data protection advice is not covered under the HR / employment law compliance service. However for all schools that are signed up to the legal support service they can receive advice and assistance on any data protection matters they may have (for example handling subject access requests).

The ERA is introducing increased worker protections and in this article we will focus on the forthcoming changes to unfair dismissal and how to prepare. From January 2027, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal claims will reduce from two years to six months. At the same time the cap on the unfair dismissal compensatory award will be abolished.
Because conflict in schools rarely begins with one big dramatic moment, and is far more likely to grow slowly through strained conversations, crossed wires, unspoken frustration and small disagreements that never quite get repaired, it can be surprisingly easy for a situation to become serious before anyone fully realises quite how far it’s gone.
