At our primary school, (Blakesley Hall) we have a Data Protection Act policy. The Data Protection Act was created in 1998. The aim of confidentiality at a school is to ensure the child is protected at all times, monitor their progress and to give members of staff guidance as to their legal and professional job roles. Blakesley Hall Primary School strives to keep the children safe, secure and successful. They want to create a safe and secure learning environment in order to keep the children safe from danger and make them feel as though every child matters.
Hannah Green BTEC Business Level 3 Unit 4 Business Communication Assignment 3 M2 – Analyse the legal, ethical and operational issues in relation to the use of business information, using appropriate examples. As a summarisation I will be analysing the impact of legal, ethical and operational issues in relation to Haven High Academy.

The impact of legal considerations on Haven High are as follows: · The school must ensure that all parents acknowledge and consent to the fact that throughout the child's time at school potential footage and photos would be taken of this child, or of a group that the child is still visible in. Consent forms are sent to every child's parents to issue the warning that photo's will be taken, and if they choose not to agree then the school will make sure that all photos and footage taken does not show the child's face.

Analyse how national and local guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding affect day to day work with children and young people. As well as having a safeguarding policy of our own at school, I am aware that Stoke-on-Trent City Council has its own safeguarding policy.

They monitor the success of the work that is done by local agencies to guarantee that all practitioners within the area have a clear understanding of safeguarding procedures, policies and requirements.
Federal Legislation conducts over special education by making sure that parents are knowledgeable of their rights concerning their children’s education and controls “specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs” or the Individual Educational Plan Process. Legislative directives are responsible for the increased importance of family participation, fair recognition of disabilities, disallowing schools to refuse students, proper procedures, the least limiting settings, regulations for punishment, and an elongated school year.
