Data Protection & Compliance in Schools: A Practical Handbook

When my father, a retired teacher in his 60s, asked me what data protection really means, I realised how difficult it is to explain the topic without using technical or legal language. So I wrote this book to do exactly that.

This handbook explains data protection in the simplest, clearest way possible, so that anyone, regardless of age, education level, or technical background, can understand how personal information should be handled, especially in schools.

Data Protection & Compliance in Schools helps parents, teachers, school administrators, and students understand:

• What data protection really is, in plain language

• The basic rights people have over their personal information under Kenya’s Data Protection Act

• How schools should safely handle student and staff data

• What to do if personal data is lost, shared wrongly, or exposed

• Real-life school examples that show common mistakes, risks, and practical solutions

Written with everyday readers in mind, this book avoids legal and technical jargon and focuses on making data protection easy to understand and apply in school settings.
