GDPR: Lets get real!

VODG is a voluntary sector organisation whose members work to ensure that disabled people can live the lives they choose.

VODG (Voluntary Organisations Disability Group)

As organisations prepare for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) this interactive workshop offers VODG members the opportunity to share and learn with peer organisations. 
The GDPR will come into effect on the 25 May 2018 and will introduce significant data protection measures. This legislation will, in turn, result in new data protection commitments and accountabilities for organisations, including much greater responsibilities for all data processed within the social care and disability sectors. 
It is important for all organisations to understand these changes, and to take action to evidence awareness and a commitment to achieving compliance. This workshop offers members the opportunity to share their progress and practice and to learn from others. We will use the time to break down the complexity of the new legislation and provide a common sense stepped approach on how members can achieve GDPR alignment.
