An Introduction to Data Protection

What all Employees Need to Know (eLearning)

All staff who may have access to personal data, for example within electronic systems, must have an understanding of the basics of data protection. Organisations need to ensure their activities are in line with the UK GDPR and guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

This short interactive course gives your staff members an opportunity to learn the basics of data protection requirements, so that they will avoid the common errors that are often made and which can lead to loss of reputation for the organisation and unwanted attention from regulators.

Scope of the Course

The course comprises the following subject areas:

Part 1 – Data Protection: What’s it all about?
Part 2 – The Rules for Handling Personal Data
Part 3 – Rights of Individuals
Part 4 – Sharing Personal Data With Colleagues and Other Organisations
Part 5 – The Need for Security & What Happens If Things Go Wrong

This fun and interactive online course will take your staff members 90 minutes to complete. Each staff member will receive a Certificate of Completion.
