About this event

Keeping track of how personal data is used and stored isn’t just good practice – it’s a legal requirement under UK GDPR. Many organisations in social care still find Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) and Information Asset Registers (IARs) confusing or difficult to keep up to date.

This one-hour practical workshop will guide you step by step through creating and maintaining a ROPA and IAR that are both useful and compliant.

You won’t just be talked through theory – you’ll be working on your own draft versions alongside the trainer, so by the end you’ll have something concrete to take away and build on.

What you’ll learn:

  • What a ROPA and an IAR are, and why they matter for social care providers
  • The key information both must include under UK GDPR
  • How to map data flows and identify information assets in your service
  • Practical tips for keeping your registers accurate and up to date
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
  • Important:

👉 Please make sure you join the workshop with your laptop and are ready to work on your own examples as the trainer guides you through the process. This is a hands-on, practical session – not just a presentation.

This event is delivered to you by the Sussex Digital In-Reach team, as a delivery partner of Digital Care Hub and a part of the Better Security, Better Care programme.
