The Teaching Regulation Agency, GDPR and your data
GDPR came into effect on 25 May 2018. The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) holds data relating to teachers, trainee teachers and those who hold a teacher reference number on our record of teachers and on the system used to manage teacher misconduct referrals. TRA also hold the results for all those who took professional skills tests from 2001 to 2020.
As an executive agency of the Department of Education (DfE), the DfE privacy notices provide information about the data we hold and your rights under GDPR.
We hold teacher misconduct information until it is destroyed in line with our data retention policy. We also hold details as required of other relevant parties to an investigation or hearing.
