Overview

Behind a customer record is a person whose information deserves considered treatment. Introduction to UK GDPR explains the principles that guide that treatment and the responsibilities of those processing or storing data. It gives employees a reasoned basis for the choices they make with personal information. The focus is on understanding what the regulation means within an organisation. Participants examine the people and information it concerns, then consider how data maps and impact assessments support more deliberate practice.

Why this Training Matters for your Organisation
A business needs to know what personal data it holds and why it holds it. Without that understanding, staff may struggle to explain the purpose of a record or recognise when its handling needs attention. Use this introduction to develop that awareness among the people closest to your records. It connects the UK framework with the practical questions raised by keeping information and deciding when to dispose of it.
Who Should Attend
Relevant wherever employees process personal information or maintain records on behalf of the organisation:
  • HR teams and colleagues administering employee information.
  • Customer service staff and people maintaining client records.
  • Managers and employees coordinating data-handling activities.
