Social media is awash with questions about how to interpret GDPR regulations for practical management issues. Here’s a handy guide from Alexander Fetani of the Early Years Alliance*.
1. Can I give first names only when parents ask for names of children for party invitations or cards?
You will need to obtain written consent from parents before giving out names – whether it be first names, surnames or both.
2. I have an open Facebook page which helps me recruit new parents. What do I need to do to make sure it is GDPR-compliant?
You must ask consent from parents to post images of their children. It is best practice to use a form to document that the consent has been obtained. You will need to specify how the images will be used and give parents the opportunity to easily withdraw their consent at any time.
