Data Protection

The data protection course aims to provide participants with a strong understanding of data protection and UK GDPR and what it means within the workplace. 

 

By the end of this course participants will understand: 

 

  • UK GDPR and how it impacts the handling of data

  • The seven principles of GDPR 

  • How to safely handle and store data 

  • What to do in the event of a data breach

 

The course focuses on the following:

 

UK GDPR:

During this course, participants will learn how privacy laws improve the protection of data rights and provide greater control in how personal data is collected, used and protected for people. Participants will become familiar with the seven principles of GDPR: 

 

  • Lawfulness, fairness and transparency

  • Purpose limitation

  • Data minimisation 

  • Accuracy

  • Storage limitation

  • Integrity and confidentiality

  • Accountability

 

Handling Data:

Is there legitimate reason for the participants to be handling the data they are working with? How long is it necessary to store information? Is the information being stored correctly? These are all questions the course asks the participants to consider whilst they are handling data within their workplace, providing guidance on how to ensure that they are adhering to GDPR at all times whilst working. 

 

Data Breaches:

Providing examples of data breaches, the course highlights how data breaches can occur accidentally or intentionally to participants. Participants will also learn the necessary steps to take if they suspect a possible data breach, including what to report,  who to report to, and how quickly they should act. The consequences of failing to report a data breach for investigation are also highlighted within the course.
