AnonyMouse_48616 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Hello everyone, my sincere apologies if this has been covered already but my search didn't uncover anything. Does anyone have any info on GDPR compliance of Visitors Books and the Daily Registers? Ours are both currently on one sheet printed out from the office and show the names of everyone attending that day. Is this non compliant? Thank you for any feedback.
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Our registers are on one sheet per day for a whole half term.- staff complete these and they are kept closed/out of general view. Visitors are on the bottom of the staff signing in sheet. One sheet covers three weeks. The only details on the visitor sheet is name, reason, times + signed on way out.
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) We have a separate weekly sheet for the children covering all the days, that is kept in a clip folder which is closed when not in use so can't be seen by any random visitor. We have a daily log book sheet, on each page we have a simple risk check to be ticked off, a to do list, a note of any minor incident, staff sign in /out and a visitor log,, so basically any of the everyday things in "pretty zones" on the one A4 page The only extra thing we have on the visitor sign in portion is ID checked column, which we would initial, this was at the suggestion of our LA Advisor, together with a copy of our visitor's policy for them to read through before signing in. I think as long as these pieces of information are not on general display for anyone to glance at in passing, or have a good nose at while signing in you will be ok. If your stuff is on computer, make sure you have a screen saver which reacts quickly or you can close down the lid on a laptop. Edited June 6, 2018 by Panders

Including possible new parents or just 'any others' like meter readers, workmen etc?
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I have only ever checked the ID of official visitors from LA, Ofsted and workmen. Not prospective parents, that makes me feel a bit cringy! 2
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I have no idea why that all underlined, it just would not stop - and now it's fine 1 1

We do check the above - but not prospective parents I might add an ID tick box for the official type workers now though I think.

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I've had a few not bring their children along too, and I always ask them to it's as much a child's choice as anything else. I often wonder why parents wouldn't bring them, makes we wonder if there is something to hide but yes, some are already in another setting, we did have a bit of a run on having families desert one setting for us, it was as if I were doing the poaching, but definitely not, just parents talking to other parents as they do.

We sort of have this too. With us they tend to start at the full day as they take babies, then once the child is funded they often share with us as the grandparents also seem take on more of a role in their care. 1

Not prospective parents, that makes me feel a bit cringy! Same here, official visitors first time of meeting (like salt, portage, LA etc), Ofsted always, it’s not often these days you can’t find a pic of an unknown parent when they make an appointment to visit (that is a bit stalky I know) and we are situated where they can’t just walk in and knock the door, a new community policeman had visited school then came to us, I asked for ID and they were quite put out saying no one else had, they were even more put out when I said they could have got their outfit from fancy dress r us :-/ 1 3
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 But Mousie, sooooo true. If you really wanted to make some kind of mischief you would go all out to look like the real deal surely. Must be a known thing that people tend to believe anyone that wears a uniform, or appears to be official. 2
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 a few years back we had a teacher turn up to visit - our LA said all teachers would carry ID badges for visits - this teacher didn't and had no other ID on her - I phoned the school and asked them to give a description of the teacher ! they were a bit put out but I said as we had never seen her before and she had no ID then I needed to ensure she was who she said she was. 1
AnonyMouse_48616 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 Thank you for your thoughts and advice. I was worried we would have to have an individual page for each visitor so that you couldn't see who else was visiting, e.g. social workers, family support workers etc.

We would have other information elsewhere as to which child should they ever need to be checked. 1
