Data Protection Essential Knowledge - Level 1

This course is an introductory level course for all those that are new to data protection, or those that require a refresher on the fundamental concepts. It is designed for people who work with, or will work with, data protection issues on a regular basis.

This session will provide a thorough grounding in the fundamental requirements of data protection, which derive from the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003.

Data protection compliance is an essential legal requirement for all organisations. Investigations by the Data Protection Commissioner continue to gather pace for all sectors.  It is best to put data protection procedures in place before problems occur to avoid legal liability, negative publicity and cost of regulatory enforcement.  All staff who work with personal data should receive basic training in data protection compliance.

This invaluable and practical training session, led by internationally-acclaimed data protection expert and trainer Peter Carey, examines core concepts of practical data protection compliance, including:

• how data protection law applies to your organisation
• what can and cannot be done with staff information and customer information
• the requirements on organisations to keep data secure, and how to meet those requirements
• the rights of individuals, such as customers and staff, in respect of data held by your organisation
• the legal requirements for gathering information for marketing, including the use of opt-out and opt-in clauses
• the requirements for using CCTV cameras
• an introduction to handling requests for information by individuals
• the special rules that apply to using ‘sensitive personal data’ ( e.g. medical information, criminal convictions, ethnicity data )
• the restrictions on sending personal data abroad
• the legal requirements for outsourcing personal data processing operations, e.g. payroll, call-centres, private investigators and confidential waste management companies
• identifying which areas of your organisation need attention and remedial action
• the role of the Data Protection Commissioner

There will be plenty of opportunity for questions, and delegates are encouraged to bring their queries to the session.

Peter provides data protection advice to many different types of clients in the public and private sectors, including government, health care, telecoms, insurance, charities and law firms.  View extended biography
