GDPR Information for Staff - Medway

The new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) will be coming in from 25 May, which will have a discernible impact on how we obtain, update and use personal information we hold on our constituents and stakeholders. The Information Compliance team and Development Office have been preparing various processes and resources to ensure the University remains compliant and have pulled together some information sessions for data users in schools and departments across the institution.

The following sessions are designed to give those working on employability, alumni relations, fundraising, recruitment and marketing, or anyone else using personal data, a chance to hear about the general ‘dos and don’ts’ and guidance going forward. Any colleague may go to any session, though if you work in a faculty it might be helpful to go the one specific to your faculty as any questions raised may be more pertinent to your area.

If relevant to your role, I recommend you attend if you can. If you cannot attend a session and have concerns, you may contact the Development Office or Information Compliance team directly.
