Privacy Notice – Data Protection
The Fair Processing Notice was replaced by a Privacy Notice. It is a legal requirement that this notice is then given to all staff that will be included in your Workforce Census Return. This Notice informs staff of the purposes for which their personal data
may be held and used by the school, the local authority, the DfE and other organisations.
Please remember that any new staff, or staff for whom information has not been submitted before, need to have a privacy notice drawn to their attention. The privacy notice has been improved and updated to reflect the changes in Government. This is available
for download
Privacy Notice for Schools.
Mandatory, optional and not applicable data items
The following table shows which data items are mandatory (Y)
for each of the staff categories, which are optional (#) and which are not applicable
(X). Schools and local authorities may wish to hold the optional items on their MIS and this information should automatically be filtered out from the school workforce census return when it is generated. There may be instances where optional
information is not filtered out, and local authorities will need to be aware that the data may be forwarded to the department and used for research and statistical purposes.
The information in the table applies to those staff with current contracts, or employed via a current service agreement, for 28 days or more on the census day
