Information Request from Parents
- Published: 31 May 2018
Under Article 15 of GDPR, a person has a right to obtain a copy of any data an organisation holds on that person. To obtain it, it is necessary to make that request in writing. It should be as specific as possible and one may be asked to produce identification to ensure that the data is not released to the wrong person. On receiving a Data Access Request, an organisation has one month to comply with the request. This can be extended to two months for more complex or multiple requests. There is no charge for providing the data.
This also applies to schools and the Data Access Template can be customised to your own school to formalise and record the details of the request. Please note that the Data Access Request Form is made to the Board of Management and not to the Principal.
