Briefing Overview

An essential review of UK data protection legislation governing Subject Access Requests (SARs), including timeframes, exemptions, fees, and the impact of school holiday periods on deadlines.

Why This Matters

• Legal obligations: Schools must comply with UK GDPR and DPA 2018, typically responding to SARs within one month, holiday periods included.
• Complex scenarios arise: Legitimate grounds for delaying or withholding information (e.g. safeguarding, third-party data) require clear justification.
• Avoiding pitfalls: Miscalculating statutory timeframes around holidays can breach compliance and erode trust.

What You'll Gain

• Legal clarity: Understanding SAR timelines, exemptions, and relevant UK GDPR sections.
• Strategic planning: Preparing in advance for SARs received before or during holiday closures.
• Practical tools: Clear action steps to guide your response efforts.

Perfect for schools, trusts, and education providers. Let us take the stress out of SARs so you can focus on what matters.
