A failure to handle data ethically can harmfully impact people and lead to a loss of trust in projects, products or organisations.

With ODI support, people, teams and businesses across the world are developing new data skills to help them get value from data, whilst avoiding harmful impacts.

<p>Data ethics is a rapidly emerging area.

It is intended for anyone working in public, private and third-sector organisations who wants to become familiar with data ethics and start to bring it into their organisation.</p><p>The course will be attended by people from multiple organisations.
