1Question

Tell me about a time when you had to handle sensitive information professionally

When managing SEN student records at my previous school, I discovered a data breach where confidential EHCP reports were accidentally shared with unauthorised staff. I immediately contained the situation by retrieving all copies, informed the Data Protection Officer within 2 hours, and implemented a new secure filing system with access controls. I then conducted training for 8 staff members on data handling procedures. As a result, we achieved zero data incidents over the following 18 months and received commendation from our local authority for our improved data governance.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to be proactive in solving an administrative problem

I noticed that EHCP annual reviews were consistently running late, causing stress for families and potential compliance issues. Without being asked, I analysed the process and identified that scheduling conflicts were the main bottleneck. I created a new tracking system and introduced 6-week advance planning for all stakeholders. I also established backup meeting slots and reminder protocols. This reduced late reviews from 35% to just 8%, improved parent satisfaction scores by 25%, and earned recognition from the SENCO for taking initiative to solve a persistent problem.
