Peer Marking GDPR

[adognamedhog]

Hi. Just wondered if any of you have discussed how peer marking fits with gdpr? I'm thinking test mark's etc are a child's data and do we have permission to share them with other children without their consent? Late night musings...

Hhmmmm no idea. You might have a point.
Personally think GDPR is largely over dramatic nonsense (ridiculous dribble) but interested to see how others respond.

I’ve spent a lot of time on GDPR and its implications in an educational setting this year (yes, I am boring myself with it.) GDPR risks are not “pass or fail” if you see what I mean, they exist on a scale of risk which needs to be considered. Peer marking would be considered very low risk as the data shared is very minimal (each child is only likely to see one other child’s score, not the whole cohort’s), it’s only being shared internally, not exported to any external party, and the data is not particularly sensitive (the children are not party to each other’s SEN information or personal details etc.). So it would be considered low enough risk to be doable.

GDPR covers personal sensitive data. It doesn't cover all data.
