Managers, employers and businesses need to have a higher understanding of their responsibilities regarding Data Protection and GDPR.  Data Protection training gives learners an insight into the regulations that cover the storage and security of data in the workplace. Keeping data safe is a legal requirement and the course covers these requirements to ensure that staff understand why and how we comply with the rules.

Learn how to understand your requirements under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)  and learn about the requirements to handle a Subject Access Request (SAR).  The course also looks at the lawful basis for handling data which is a vital component when processing any data.

The course covers the data protection principles as well as other relevant data protection subjects allowing compliance for companies and employees.  

Subject Access Requests or SAR's are an important subject for all employees to understand as they can be submitted to all members of staff so it is vital that everyone understands how important they are and what to do with them when they are received by any business.

GDPR is an ongoing process and gives data subjects rights that have to be understood and respected by all businesses. The course covers data principles, legal basis and what to do when a potential data breach occurs.

If you would prefer a class-based lesson at your workplace nationally we have a network of instructors who can deliver the training at your workplace and we also offer a level 2 Data Protection and GDPR course for employees.

This qualification and most of the other ProTrainings qualifications are Endorsed by TQUK to show our commitment to extra levels of compliance and quality assurance.
