“ “Fantastic course! As a manager of a large team who deal with GDPR requests, it was great to see the knowledge and person-centred approach of the presenter. I will certainly keep sending my new starters on this course as it covers so much but in a way which is easily digestible.

GO, Nursing and Midwifery Council

A highly informative and interactive course which helped to join the dots together and add layers to my understanding of a complex area. I had some reservations as to how it would be possible to achieve an effective course remotely. The presenter was highly knowledgeable and made sure the participants were understanding the content. I would not hesitate to recommend to colleagues.

The SyllabusWe have designed the syllabus to ensure that delegates further their understanding of all the main aspects of the GDPR and associated privacy legislation over the duration of the course. Unlike other courses which cover single issues in a linear fashion, this course is designed to replicate real life situations where many different aspects of GDPR have to be considered and applied simultaneously to a given scenario. This means that each masterclass will by necessity examine certain reoccurring themes, such as the GDPR principles and lawfulness, as well as more specific issues. However the course has been structured to ensure that the following key syllabus points are covered:

The DP Principles

Personal Data Breach

Breach Notification

International Transfers

Lawfulness, Consent and Legitimate Interests

Special Category Data

Transparency /Privacy Notices
