PDP's legal notice

Updated: 10/05/08

The Privacy & Data Protection seminar was a good forum. As it was a small group, it gave me an excellent chance to ask questions that were specific to our business and clients. Peter Carey is an excellent speaker. He was able to provide information immediately and was well versed with the DPA. The session was interactive, educational, enjoyable - and not at all intimidating! Highly recommended

A real eye opener into the world of Data Protection Compliance through an excellent delivery of an interactive course that meets every course participant's requirements. Many thanks again for the course I thought your delivery was excellent and feel now that I have grasped a sound understanding. I guess the difficulties now are getting around the practicalities and the operational issues to ensure that Mills & Reeve follow the highest level possible of Data Compliance. I have already been in touch with my recruitment agencies this morning to ensure that they are following the rules
