The professional working world has changed more rapidly than could have been envisaged at the time of the introduction of GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. With more people working from home post-Covid and the ever increasing risk of cyber-attacks, this short course is aimed at taking stock of current practice and risk, as well as considering ICO enforcement action and the implications of hybrid working. It is also a great recap on the rules as they stand and what you need to know to comply. The course will cover:

UK GDPR - A timely reminder of the rules
ICO enforcement action and what we can learn
Data Protection Impact Assessments - when and how to do them
Hybrid working and UK GDPR
Managing cyber attacks from a UK GDPR perspective

Target Audience

The online course is suitable for staff of all levels, from support staff to senior partners.

Resources

Course notes will be provided to all delegates which may be useful for ongoing reference or cascade training.

Please note a recording of the course will not be made available.
