Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

A wonderful day today at #PrivacySpace. Still the best Privacy/Data Protection event to go to. Perfect selection of speakers and so good to catch up with many notable experts in the field.

If you are a startup vendor/supplier and are thinking about visiting #bett24 but the ticket is proving a barrier, then you might want to read my newsletter tomorrow as I "might" have a competition offer that is right up your street ;) Just saying 😉 #everylittlehelps

If you are an EdTech vendor that is thinking of using biometric data, or presently use it, then you need to look through this and get involved in the consultation. This will be vital to ensure you know what is going on in the UK and be part of the discussions
Is biometric data always personal information? Is it ever special category data? Our new draft guidance explains the rules around using biometrics whilst complying with data protection law. Let us know what you think: ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/ico…

And so we're here, another summer holidays. Which means all systems go for IT professionals, site staff, finance teams and admin teams in schools around the country! 💪 Common misconceptions: 🟢 Schools are NOT closed! 👎 No, we don't get a summer break 🚫 No, we don't have it easy or put our feet up because there aren't any teachers or students 💪 We are usually working the hardest we do all year! 🥺 Yes, it can be very lonely 😣 Yes, the projects are usually very stressful 🙃 Yes, we do turn the school upside down 🪄 Yes, we do magically get everything back up and running for the start of term Shout out to all my fellow IT professionals and school staff working throughout the holidays! You are all awesome! ✅ 😎 Let's do this! 🥳 We got this! 👍 Roll on summer holidays 2023! #EdTech #EduTwitter #Education #IT #EduGeek #ANME #ITjustworks #SummerHolidays #UnsungHeroes #Legends #PLN 🥰

Towards Child Rights by Design: children need their rights to be considered and embedded in the development of digital technologies that they use. The #DigitalFutures Child Rights by Design toolkit helps do exactly that. ow.ly/Ir1a50Nwrp0

“Such work provides a strong example of a famous Māori proverb. Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua: I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past.” — very thoughtful for discussions on data and #AI and purposes of community regulation
