Fundamentals of GDPR : Staff awareness for those new to GDPR or needing a refresher

A data protection staff awareness online training Ideal for anyone new to data protection, as part of a new starter training programme or those needing a refresher of GDPR.

In the five years since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on the 25th May 2018, the UK has left the European Union and a small number of companies have been penalised for breaching the law.  But what else has changed?  Does the GDPR still apply to the UK?.  The UK Government are looking to reform the UK’s data protection legislation in the very near future, therefore it is beneficial to be aware of the current legislation, the impact of future changes on your organisation and understand what you can do today to reduce the risk of breaching the law.

The training session will be practical, with relevant examples to charities, 3rd sector organisations and privacy sector businesses in the Oxfordshire area.  The session will talk through the core principles of the law and how they apply to you.

The training session will be held online using zoom.

The content will cover:

  • An explanation of what is personal data and special categories of personal data that voluntary sectors organisations typically.
  • An Introduction to the principles of the GDPR, providing relevant examples
  • An explanation of  how voluntary sector organisations can demonstrate that they are being fair, lawful and transparent with the personal data they are processing.
  • An explanation of what needs to be considered when the person whose data you want to collect needs to give their consent (e.g. newsletters vs. donations/fundraising campaigns).
  • An explanation of when a voluntary sector organisation can rely upon legitimate interests for processing personal data.
  • How to understand and respect the rights of the person whose data you are collecting, in particular how to respond to requests
  • Access to personal data
    What operational and technical security measures you need to follow when processing personal data, including working remotely.
  • The importance of data protection impact assessments when introducing a new system into the organisation.
  • How and when to report a personal data breach.

The training will be interactive and will make use of Zoom’s breakout rooms to conduct small exercises. Copies of the slides used will be shared.  Each attendee will receive a certificate of attendance.
