How to implement the Schools’ privacy policy
Step 1 – link to the policy
Schools must include a link on their public facing website to the department’s Schools' privacy policy(opens in a new window).
Step 2 – share supporting information with staff
Send staff a link to the guidance Implementing the Schools' privacy policy. The guidance will help staff understand what they need to do when collecting, sharing and using personal information.
Step 3 – share supporting information with the school community
Send the school community a link to the Schools' privacy policy: information for parents(opens in a new window). This resource helps parents and carers understand how the school handles their information. It also includes translations for culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
Step 4 – share the Schools’ privacy collection notice
During the enrolment process schools must provide parents and carers with a link to the Schools' privacy collection notice(opens in a new window).
Schools must also provide a link to the collection notice annually in Term 1, as part of regular privacy reminders.
For guidance on this process, refer to Collection notices.
