Data breaches are often the result of human error, making staff training a critical component of your school’s data protection and safeguarding strategy. While eliminating all risks is impossible, demonstrating that you have taken proactive steps to educate your staff can help safeguard your institution’s reputation, ensure accountability and keep your school compliant with the data protection laws.
