Privacy Notice: TEACHER SUBJECT SPECIALISM TRAINING (TSST)
The training you are applying for is funded by the Department for Education (DfE).
For the purpose of data protection legislation, the DfE is the data controller for the
personal data processed as part of the evaluation of STEM and MFL teacher supply
and recruitment programmes.
What data will be collected
The following personal data will be collected:
a) Full name including any names you have been previously known by;
b) Date of birth;
c) Email addresses (either work or personal);
d) Teacher Reference Number (TRN)
How your data will be used
We will share with the DfE personal data, provided by you in your TSST application,
in order for the DfE to:
(a) know who is participating in the training;
(b) confirm eligibility and funding for the training;
(c) link the information you provide in your application form to other information
about you that they already hold (for example, on the Database of Qualified
Teachers and School Workforce Census), or to which it is lawfully permitted
access. This is to identify (for example) how many participants go on to teach in
the TSST subject they have undertaken;
(d) contact you to take part in research related to your training. Please be aware
that, if contacted, you are under no obligation to take part in research.
Your contact details may also be shared with a third party organisation who may use
your data as a sampling frame to contact individuals to take part in interviews or
surveys, to evaluate the training. The organisation may also link the answers from
these surveys/interviews to other information within the data, such as subject taught
(where applicable). Please note that if contacted, you are under no obligation to take
part and you can ask not to participate, or change your mind, at any time. Individuals
will not be identified in any results of the evaluation.
Lawful use of your personal data
In lawfully using your data, conditions in the data protection legislation must be met.
The relevant condition for the purpose of TSST is ‘Schedule 2 (5)(c) of the Data
Protection Act: that the processing is necessary for the exercise of a function of the
Secretary of State of the Department’.
For the processing of personal data to be lawful, conditions in the GDPR must be
met. The relevant condition for the purpose of TSST is: ‘Article 6 (1) (e) “processing
is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the
exercise of official authority vested in the controller.”
Storing your personal data
Under Article 5(1) of the GDPR, all personal data shared with DfE (and its contracted
organisations) will be handled securely and only accessed for the purposes of the
evaluation of teacher training, recruitment and retention. Your data will only be
stored for as long as required for the purpose(s) of this programme, and will then be
securely destroyed. Please note that, under section 33 of the Data Protection Act,
and in compliance with the relevant conditions, we can lawfully keep personal data
processed purely for research purposes indefinitely.

ask for access to information about you that we hold;
have your personal data rectified, if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling
reason for its continued processing;
restrict our processing of your personal data (i.e. permitting its storage but no
further processing);
object to direct marketing (including profiling) and processing for the purposes
of scientific/historical research and statistics;
not be subject to decisions based purely on automated processing where it
produces a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
