All employers hold some personal data about their employees and therefore will need to comply with the relevant provisions of the UK GDPR. Consequently, anyone working in Human Resources needs to have an awareness of the key issues. This live online course sets out a succinct summary of the most important topics and highlights the greatest areas of risk. Delegates will be asked to consider several relevant scenarios which will then be discussed with the presenter.

The price is £199 + VAT. This is a per organisation price, so up to 10 of your colleagues can participate at absolutely no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time.  So, of course, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £19.90 per person

For law firms with four or less partners, you can purchase a single place at the conference for £99 + VAT

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.
