Data Protection Essentials
Our Data Protection courses are suitable for anyone who handles personal information in their day-to-day job. Through reference to the Data Protection Act 1998, this course will cover how the Act plays a crucial role in protecting individuals’ rights and gives guidance on how to work responsibly when handling, storing and processing data, particularly of a personal nature. It is increasingly important to emphasise ways in which we can protect personal data in the digital age. This legislation outlines the eight data principles that should be put in practice when handling data. Ensuring the practice is fair, secure, and transparent is a responsibility for both individuals and organisations and thus, both can be held responsible for breaching data protection laws, and can face monetary penalties for doing so.
Our Creative Learning Solutions Data Protection Courses ensure you and your employees comply with the Data Protection Act and provide training on how to handle data correctly. Through an interactive questionnaire, you will be provided with real-life examples of ways in which data information has been breached, and this course effectively conveys the rules which organisations and individuals must follow to avoid this. Everyone plays the role of being a Data Subject at some point in their lives and should understand the cost in losing your own personal data. Through having tight and secure regulations, it will elevate a company’s status and additionally ensure a client’s confidence in the company.
