Introduction

This course is aimed at those in all organisations who have little previous experience of data protection.  It is intended to provide a succinct overview of the basic concepts so that they can easily be applied in practice in the workplace. It will also be an excellent refresher and updater for those whose knowledge is a tad out of date.

Prices: £195 + VAT for the first delegate. This is a per organisation price, so up to 10 of your colleagues from the same organisation can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So for example, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £19.50 each.

All those attending will receive a free video recording of the course shortly after it takes place. You can participate in the course live or watch the recorded version whenever or wherever you want.

Delivered by Keith Markham, a highly experienced presenter, and using a variety of case studies, delegates will leave the session better informed and equipped to deal with this ever-evolving area of practice.
