GDPR Staff Awareness Course

The EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) has been incorporated into British Law through the new Data Protection Act 2018 and has been enforced since the 25th of May, 2018.

All businesses handle personal data and must ensure that they are aware of the new rules and must examine the processes they currently have in place to ensure they continue to comply with the law.

This GDPR training course will outline your main responsibilities and help you to start making the necessary changes. The biggest changes under the GDPR are in relation to obtaining consent, the right to be forgotten and for some companies the need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
