Please note that this session is for individuals, small charities and community groups in the Royal Borough of Kingston, and neighbouring boroughs only.

About the event

GDPR may have originated with the EU, but it's now part of UK legislation, and data protection is just as important as ever. This session will look at the key responsibilities for any voluntary organisation to ensure that you comply with the law when you use personal data, without creating unnecessary obstacles, including action you need to take regarding data protection and data flows with the EU/EAA post 1st January 2021. It takes a pragmatic approach, using examples relevant to voluntary organisations. For those who are already aware of data protection and GDPR it will consolidate your knowledge, but it is also suitable for those with little previous involvement.

This session will cover:

• Key definitions - data controller, personal data and suchlike

• How to decide your lawful basis for processing

• Complying with the data protection principles

• The relationship between data protection and confidentiality

• Managing data protection in your organisation

About the book:

‘Written in clear language and set in a meaningful context, this is the best translation of the hundreds of pages of data protection legislation as it applies to charitable organisations. A prodigious achievement on one of the most important and challenging legal responsibilities for our sector.’

Sian Basker, Co-Chief Executive, Data Orchard

‘A detailed and methodical approach to data protection. This comprehensive guide is an accessible source of information filled with valid and relevant examples. I found it a particularly great help in getting to grips with specific areas, such as consent and contracts.’

Kirsty Cunningham, Head of Fundraising, St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity

‘There are not many people within the charity sector who are specialists in data protection. Paul uses simple, straightforward language to cover all key aspects of this complex but vitally important subject. Brilliantly practical!’
