PLATFORM FOUNDATIONS

Built for Separation by Default

Each school or trust only sees its own data and outputs. Access is role-based, key decisions are recorded, and the system is designed to fail closed.

Why choose us

Different by design

Three things that set us apart.

Approach

We don’t default to “no”

Some DPO services start with a blanket refusal and only do the real thinking when you get pushback. We start with the thinking: scope it properly, consider the law and guidance, then give you a clear position you can stand behind.

Delivery

We do the work, not just the opinion.

Advice alone doesn’t ship outcomes. We get involved in delivery: evidence handling, redaction support, decision logging, and producing usable outputs—so you’re not left to “figure it out” after a call.

Sector

Education is different and we’re built for it

Schools and trusts deal with safeguarding realities, mixed systems, and tight deadlines. We apply data protection in the real education context, not a generic corporate playbook.

Trust

Trusted by UK Schools and Trusts

Support across the education sector — from nurseries to multi‑academy trusts.

“Gareth is our amazing DPO. He has supported me through one of the most challenging cases I have worked on in 30 years and other cases besides. I wouldn’t now actually use anyone else and wholeheartedly recommend him!”

FAQ

Common questions

Do MATs get a discount?▾

Yes. Multi-academy trusts receive a discount based on the number of schools: 2–9 → 10%, 10–19 → 20%, 20+ → 30%. A further +5% applies on a 3-year commitment (billed annually). Use the calculator to see your estimate.

What are TruCredits and how do I use them?▾

TruCredits are prepaid credits you can use to pay for high-effort, one-off work (processing, redaction, exports, and policy packs). Credits are deducted per task/unit.

What is included in the DPO service?▾

A named, education-first DPO covering day-to-day advice, incident/breach support, SAR/FOI support, deployable policies, and defensible record keeping.

Are you advice-only, or do you get involved?▾

We get involved. We help you scope the work, make defensible decisions, and deliver outputs—policies, SAR/FOI support, and breach response.

Do I need the portal to use the DPO service?▾

No. The DPO service stands alone. Portal is included in Advisory and Comprehensive, and can also be purchased separately.

What is the Portal?▾

A single place for evidence, cases, outputs, and the decisions behind them—so work stays structured and auditable.

Is Portal included in DPO plans?▾

Yes. Portal is included in Advisory and Comprehensive.

Can we buy the Portal without the DPO service?▾

Yes. Portal can be purchased as a standalone product.

Who runs the Portal day-to-day?▾

It depends on what you buy. Standalone Portal: you run it day-to-day (we support and oversee). Advisory: Portal is included and you run it day-to-day (we support and oversee). Comprehensive: Portal is included and we manage portal operations with you (we run it day-to-day).
