Data Protection can seem like a complex area and you may have heard about the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) coming into force on the 25th May 2018, which will affect all organisations, this includes small businesses, parish/town councils, voluntary and community groups. Which is why CCB is facilitating this session in partnership with Databasix. This training has been organised to help smaller organisations understand how they can ensure they are GDPR compliant.

GDPR strengthens a number of existing principles and introduces more rights for individuals in the use of their personal data. This training session will introduce the GDPR to delegates, describe the differences between the Data Protection Act 1998 and provide practical steps that need to be taken in order to start implementing GDPR.

What will I learn?

• Understand the basic principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• Know what the key differences are between GDPR and the Data Protection Act
• Understand how it applies to the personal and sensitive data you collect, use and process.
• Understand how Data Protection fits with Freedom of Information, Information Sharing and Information Security.
• Be confident in the steps your organisation needs to take to get ready for GDPR
• You will leave the session with some practical tips and tools for managing your GDPR implementation plan.
