What information do we collect?
We collect information about schools (school type, age range, address, phone number and general email address).
For individual teachers, we record your school, your name and job title, the subject/s you teach, your school email, any special area of responsibility such as STEM or Enrichment, and your booking history. We record this data when you fill in forms on our website (to receive updates about our study days or to make a booking), contact us by email or phone (for bookings or booking amendments), or when you fill in the request for updates on the feedback forms handed out to teachers at every Education in Action study day.
How do we use this information?
We store your data to help ensure that you only receive relevant information and updates for our study days for the subjects you teach or for which you are responsible i.e. Maths teachers receive information about Maths study days. Education in Action will only process the information necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
There are various ways in which we may process your personal information.

We will contact you initially to let you know the dates of our upcoming study days so that these may be entered in the school calendar in good time for the required school organisational procedures.
We will provide updates about the latest speaker and topic information as they are announced to help you make a more informed decision about attending.
We will also advise you of any special promotional options that may be available from time to time.
