"Genuinely a 5 star service! Firebird has supported our Trust to undertake a strategic review of our Data Protection responsibilities and strengthen the associated systems and processes across our entire organisation.  The Consultant DPO service provides our Trust with confidence and assurance that compliance with legislation is secured in respect of all aspects of our data protection activities.  The services offered are responsive, and have been shaped to the meet the specific needs of our organisation."

 "Firebird provides us with outstanding service, expert advice and a pragmatic approach to managing our data protection obligations.  Our consultant is personable, knowledgeable and patient. Her research into how the GDPR is incorporated in local law, has been invaluable. They provide excellent value for money and have become an invaluable resource.  I cannot recommend them highly enough."

  "We could not be happier with the service from Firebird. Our DPO is readily available to answer our queries and has been remarkably supportive in providing tools and templates to smooth the process. We are a large secondary school in Peterborough, with very limited resources, and I could not have found a more cost effective solution to this important part of our compliance work. A 5 star service for an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ school which takes its data protection duties very seriously.”

Headteacher, The King's School, Peterborough

"Our Data Protection Officer has always been easy to contact either by phone or e-mail and has always responded to me within the same working day. Very efficient. Without Firebird's support and guidance, I do not believe we would know what needs to be done in order to be compliant.”

Headteacher, West Hill, Devon

  “The quality of the DPO service we have received has been excellent.  Whilst I was initially sceptical regarding the benefit of buying in a full GDPR support package, it has proven its value on a number of occasions and has mitigated the GDPR compliance workload for the school.    We have benefitted from our DPO's broad experience and pragmatic approach.”

Director, Queen Elizabeth School, Exeter

“Our DPO is so much more than just a Data Protection Officer. She has provided us with a complete service, not only did she ensure our policies, privacy notices and consent letters were lawful, she also provided us with a toolkit of templates to use, audits, advice, staff training and reports for governors to ensure we were compliant"
