Be protected: New data and AI for schools magazine available now
We’ve published an all-new data and AI-focused magazine, ‘Be protected’ for school and trust leaders and data protection officers.
Emerging opportunities of AI adoption in schools
Our inaugural edition responds to the increased focus on children’s privacy by the Information Commissioner Office (ICO) and the emerging challenges and opportunities of AI adoption in schools.
These are all topics growing in significance as the sector learns how to innovate and make efficiencies, while assuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.
Practical tips and guidance
The magazine is packed with practical tips and guidance to help you manage and avoid data breaches and to handle Freedom of Information (FOI) and Subject Access Requests (SARs) effectively and efficiently, along with FAQs to address your most common data-related concerns.
Special guests from the sector
We also feature an exclusive interview with Lauren Thorpe, Chief Transformation Officer at United Learning and head of the Confederation of School Trusts (CST) data and insights professional community.
The magazine is open to all and free to download. We hope you enjoy this edition and we look forward to hearing what you’d like us to cover in future.
