Description
What is the workshop about?
The new European General Regulation on Data Protection takes effect in May 2018. This workshop looks at what the GDPR means for VCSE and other civil society organisations, and what they need to do to be GDPR ready.
What will it cover?
The workshop will look at what the GDPR does; and how it will affect the way organisations collect and process data. It will offer a general overview; and then consider the steps organisations should take in order to comply with the GDPR. Attendees are welcome to bring their own policies and drafts for consideration in this respect.
Outcomes
Participants will:
(a) Be aware of their organisation’s duties, and the steps needed to ensure compliance with data protection law.
(b) Be more confident in applying best practice to data protection.
The trainer
The workshop will be run by David Green, director of Green Pepper Consulting. David has many years of experience dealing with employment relations, employment law and management issues, including in the area of data protection. He is also the trustee lead on data protection for a Leicestershire charity.
