Introducing UK-GDPR

Introducing UK-GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is designed to strengthen the principles of data protection for all individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area. Since leaving the European Union, these regulations have become known as the UK-GDPR. Following their initial implementation, there have been incredibly important changes to data privacy regulations. So understanding the correct implementation of the UK-GDPR is vital for all businesses and organisations, and particularly for staff who regularly deal with personal data.

This online course is designed specially for those front line staff and provides a clear introduction to the main elements of the UK-GDPR, including compliance and the consequences of non-compliance. It explains the roles of key players – Data Protection Officers, Data Controllers, Data Protection Leads and Data Processors and covers the main categories of personal data, along with the six lawful bases for processing data, and how to audit the data your organisation holds.

Other topics examined include the Seven Principles of the UK-GDPR and the Eight Rights for Individuals, along with the importance of your Privacy Policy – how to construct one, and how to use it effectively when dealing with data subjects. Finally, there’s important information on data breaches; how to avoid them, what to do if one is discovered and how to file a breach report.

This course is aimed at anyone who has access to personal data. This mainly applied to front line data processors but will also include HR personnel, supervisors and managers.

Understanding the reasons for and scope of the UK-GDPR can mean that data is handled professionally, securely and in compliance with the Law. This is a benefit for individuals and the company as a whole as it provides a level of confidence that things are being done correctly and protection from potential legal issues.

CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they are continually developing themselves.
