Data Protection Essential Knowledge - Level 2

With Stephanie Pritchett. Training courses in London, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow

This practical training session is designed for those that work in the field of data protection. The Level 1 and Level 2 courses taken together constitute a complete training package on the fundamentals of data protection.

This session provides a thorough grounding in the following important aspects of data protection practice:

data retention – the restrictions on keeping data, and how to establish a retention schedule
transferring data to third parties – the legal requirements for transferring data between organisations
the main exemptions in the DPA - section 29 (crime and tax) and section 35 (disclosures required by law and legal professional privilege)
criminal offences – an introduction to the main offences in the DPA, including potential penalties
the power to fine - the Commissioner’s new power to fine organisations
the Commissioner’s other powers – an analysis of the Commissioner’s powers including practical tips on how to deal with the ICO on an investigation
associated legislation - an introduction to Human Rights law and Freedom of Information law
outsourcing – key issues to consider when outsourcing (e.g. payroll, call centres, mailing houses and debt collectors), and the legal requirements for using sub-processors
the E-Privacy Regulations – an introduction to the restrictions on calling, emailing and faxing people for marketing purposes, and the use of cookies on websites
risk assessments – the basics of when and how to carry out a risk assessment
data destruction – methods to ensure lawful and secure destruction

There will be plenty of opportunity for questions, and delegates are encouraged to bring their queries to the session.

The Level 2 training course is designed as a natural progression from the Level 1 session, although attending Level 1 is not a pre-requisite to attending Level 2 unless you are a complete beginner to data protection.

Who should attend: Compliance Officers, IT Managers, Business Analysts, Human Resources Managers, Office Managers, Company Secretaries, Records Managers, Archivists, Information Managers, Legal Advisors, Trainee Data Protection Officers, Database Managers and others.
