	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2018 answer text <p>The Department is the main data controller responsible for the appropriate use of centrally held pupil data.</p><p>Before any data can be shared it has to go through a strict governance process. Officials, including legal experts and senior civil servants with data expertise, assess the application for public benefit, legal underpinning, proportionality (ensuring the minimum amount of data is used to meet the purpose), and that strict information security standards have been satisfied.</p><p>Commercial companies (such as those who provide systems that schools utilise to reflect and benchmark detailed areas of performance) may occasionally receive extracts of pupil data, subject to the strict governance and security measures in place. Similarly, if a suitably skilled researcher working for a media organisation can satisfy all aspects of the governance process, they may be able to undertake a research project.</p><p>The Department is working to provide ways for researchers to access centrally held data rather than distributing the data to them.</p><p>The Government publishes information about all of its data sharing as part of its commitment to transparency.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/07/2018 16:26:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2018 answer text <p>Ministers from DCMS and DExEU have held regular discussions about departmental policy priorities, including with respect to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as the UK leaves the EU.</p><p>The EU and the UK both have an ambition to achieve high data protection standards globally. The UK demonstrated this commitment with the successful passage of the new Data Protection Act 2018, which implements and transposes the GDPR and Law Enforcement Directive respectively in UK law.</p><p>The Act received Royal Assent on 23 May. It further strengthens UK data protection standards, ensuring they are fit for the modern age, and implements in full the EU’s new data protection framework in UK domestic law. Our data protection laws will therefore be fully aligned with the EU’s at our point of exit.</p><p>In May 2018 the government published a presentation setting out this position. The presentation is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/framework-for-the-uk-eu-partnership-data-protection.</p><p>The government recognises children need particular protection when their personal data is collected and processed as they may be less aware of the risks involved. The GDPR offers clear protection of children’s privacy and privacy notices must be written in a way that children are able to understand. Organisations that process children’s data must ensure that they use a data protection by design and default approach.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 09/07/2018 13:49:05 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
