SARs Without the Stress: Practical Strategies for Schools
Subject access requests can feel like one of the most demanding and disruptive things to land on a school's plate, especially when the person making the request refuses to narrow it down and insists on receiving everything. But it does not have to be this way. In this one-hour session, Claire Archibald, Legal Director at Browne Jacobson, a data protection specialist with extensive experience advising schools and education settings, will tackle the SAR problem head-on, offering practical, actionable guidance on: Scoping and negotiating difficult requests: how to engage constructively with requesters who want "all the data," conduct a proportionate search, and communicate clearly and confidently throughout the process Why SARs feel so hard: exploring the underlying operational and records management issues that make SARs disproportionately painful, and the strategic steps schools can take to bring them under control Moving from fire-fighting to business as usual: practical levers that, once pulled, can fundamentally change the SAR experience for everyone involved. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions.
