This practical training session is designed for those that work in the field of data protection. The Level 1 and Level 2 courses taken together constitute a complete training package on the fundamentals of data protection.
Following the latest guidance and requirements set out in the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, this session provides a thorough grounding in the following important aspects of data protection practice:
- transferring data to third parties – the legal requirements for transferring data between organisations
- data retention – the restrictions on keeping data, and how to establish a retention schedule
- the main exemptions, including ‘crime and tax’ and ‘disclosures required by law’
- the role and powers of the data protection regulator, including the circumstances where fines can be imposed
- an introduction to when it will be necessary to carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment
The Level 2 course is designed as a natural progression from Data Protection Essential Knowledge – Level 1, although attending Data Protection Essential Knowledge – Level 1 is not a pre-requisite to attending the Level 2 session unless you are a complete beginner to data protection.
Attendance on the Classroom and Virtual(Teams) formats of this course can be used as credit towards gaining the Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection.
