The GDPR applies no matter where you are located.

All associates are expected to adhere to these laws, regulations and ethical standards, and management is responsible for ensuring such compliance.
Dyslexia Support Consultancy is committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process, and to providing a compliant and consistent approach to data protection. We have a data protection programme in place which complies with existing law and abides by the data protection principles.

Our preparation and objectives for GDPR compliance have been summarised in this statement and include the development and implementation of new data protection roles, policies, procedures, controls and measures to ensure maximum and ongoing compliance.
