Important UK Data Protection Update

The Information Commissioner’s Office states that everyone in a business has responsibility for complying with information-rights law and that organisations should provide effective, role-appropriate data-protection training. The ICO is currently reviewing parts of its guidance following changes made by the Data (Use and Access) Act.

For that reason, this course should be used as awareness training rather than legal advice. Employers should keep policies and staff training under review and check current ICO guidance where their processing activities create specific obligations.

Why Data Protection Training Matters

The ICO’s accountability framework expects organisations to maintain an all-staff information-governance and data-protection training programme. It specifically highlights areas such as data sharing, information security, personal-data breaches, records management and handling requests.

For authoritative guidance, review the ICO training and awareness guidance.
