Schools and MATs across the UK are facing increasing scrutiny around data protection, cyber resilience, and emerging AI governance requirements, often without sufficient in-house expertise.

This creates two challenges: uncertainty over compliance quality and rising administrative burden across already stretched leadership teams.

DPE provides specialist outsourced Data Protection Officer services supported by the DPE Information Governance Framework and the DPE Knowledge Bank , a bespoke data protection platform designed for the education sector.

Unlike generic DPO providers, DPE combines solicitor-led governance expertise with consultants who have worked inside schools and understand how trusts operate in practice. This ensures advice is both legally accurate and practically implementable.

Our model brings structure and consistency to data protection at scale. The Information Governance Framework provides a standardised approach across entire trusts, while the Knowledge Bank delivers practical policies, guidance, and resources to embed compliance and reduce internal workload.

We support Trust CEOs and Governance Leads to:

Strengthen data protection governance across trusts
Reduce administrative workload through standardised systems
Improve audit readiness and compliance confidence
Reduce risk exposure across multi-school environments

Our approach delivers clarity, consistency, and control across 500+ schools, regardless of trust size or maturity.

DPE is designed for education organisations that need a structured, expert-led approach to data protection that reduces risk while simplifying operational workload.

If you are responsible for data protection within a school or MAT  and want a more structured approach, contact DPE to explore support.
