Services for the Education Sector

We act as Data Protection Officer for hundreds of schools. We use our experience and expertise to support our schools to meet legal obligations.

Our information audit benchmarks your compliance level. Our GDPR framework provides documentation to evidence your compliance. Together we can help you succeed.

Our CPD accredited GDPR Basics training ensures your staff understand their responsibilities. It is free if you subscribe to our Data Protection Officer service, or available as a pay as you go service. We can also provide training for a wide range of other data protection topics. Please see our training page for more information.

We are proud that our services are the most comprehensive and best value for money. Many providers offer compliance audits, training and documentation. We go one step further and offer a level of support unmatched by others. For example, we will complete subject access requests and provide a library of DPIAs.

Let us provide you with support to meet your data protection obligations. Please contact us for more information about our award-winning service. Discounts apply to schools in a MAT or formal partnership. Email: IGS@essex.gov.uk or call 0333032 2970.

Here is some feedback we have received from Schools:

"The audit was very useful. Everything was explained with patience and knowledge. The atmosphere of the meeting was relaxed, purposeful and informative."

“Thank you all for everything you do. The support you all provide from general information to audits is invaluable and everybody there is so approachable, us minions feel we are ok to ask for help.”

“Understand difficulties faced in dealing with GDPR in a small school where one person is handling multiple roles. Always letting us know you are on the end of the phone for support.”

“IGS actually provide helpful answers and do not just refer you back to guidance as a lot of other services do”

“A realistic approach to GDPR within the context of a busy school environment. Clear explanation of process. Excellent help desk and knowledgeable staff”

“The service is always accessible and very helpful, answering any queries in a timely manner. Of all the services I work with, you are by far the best!”
