School job interview help

[Owlmum]

I’m so excited to have been offered an interview at a local school but am worrying about the tasks. They’ve said the interview process includes an admin task which I’m guessing would be an email/letter type senario but it also says a GPDR task. Does anyone have any idea what sort of thing the task may involve so I can try to prepare myself. I haven’t had an interview for 15 years so I’m very nervous

Read up about safeguarding, they will definitely ask you something about your responsibility and/or what you would do if you saw/were told something that doesnt sound right.

GDPR - data protection. So the importance of keeping info confidential, making sure you're sending things to the right people, not accidentally blabbing on the phone to someone who says they're a parent, not leaving sensitive info lying around. Not sure what a GDPR task would involve particularly!

They will ask a safeguarding question, usually about a child disclosing something or if you had concerns about a member of staff so look online at their safeguarding policy.

I had a school job interview once with similar tasks - I had to prioritise 8 or so tasks in order of priority (phoning in sick, phoning in with covid - it was between the lockdowns, child not arrived, parents wanting to tour school etc) and was asked how I'd deal with the scenario of a parent asking for another parent's email address, which was prompting me to talk about GDPR.

Does this help? Good luck!
