Data Protection Annual Compliance Checklist
The Information Compliance Office has developed a Data Protection Annual Compliance Checklist for University Faculties, Departments, Divisions and other Institutions. The checklist sets out a number of practical ‘housekeeping’ actions to be completed on an annual basis by individual University departments to help ensure their ongoing compliance with data protection law.
Checklist for 2024-25
The Checklist for the academic year 2024-25 was issued in April 2025. All University departments that are expected to submit a response (via MS Forms) are being contacted directly. The deadline for responses is Friday 11 July 2025. As in previous years, briefing sessions are being run in May 2025: departments are being contacted directly about these; the slides will be published here afterwards.
