| Event Name: | Data Protection: An A-Z Guide |
| Description: | Over the past few months, many public and private sector organisations have been found to have breached the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The list includes HMRC, a famous high street retailer, a bank, a solicitors firm, a political party and a government department. The DPA applies to all processing of personal data. As a result of the latest data security breaches, the Information Commissioner is due to get tougher powers to enforce the Act including imposing substantial fines. There will also be an added penalty of imprisonment for serious offences. Whatever type of personal data you process; this workshop will cut through the legal jargon and give you an action plan for compliance. Time will also be spent discussing real life case studies.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who handles, or advises on, personal data as part of their duties including:
• Data Protection Officers
• Legal advisers
• Auditors
• Community Safety Teams
• Policy Officers
• Personnel Officers
• Social Services Staff
• CCTV Managers

This course is ideal for frontline staff as well as managers, both in the public and the private sector.
