*This training is not included in your Unlimited or Premium Plus membership.*

Why is this training programme relevant?

Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) continuous development programme provides DPOs with all they need to keep their knowledge up to date throughout the academic year, a key requirement of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

What can I expect?

The course is led by education lawyer and GDPR expert Dai Durbridge, who has extensive experience advising schools and trusts on all GDPR issues. To date, the Manchester-based partner has also provided foundation and GDPR update training to more than 400 DPOs in schools and trusts across the country. 

Delivered remotely via video conferencing software, the interactive and engaging course provides seven two-hour learning sessions and four one-hour Q&A sessions for delegates to have their questions answered and issues discussed to ensure a personalised learning experience.

Delegates will benefit from a bespoke platform where they can access course materials, including recordings, and can share templates, policies and resources with the network of DPOs in their cohort.

This course includes:

• Managing subject access requests and redaction
• Using CCTV compliantly and dealing with requests for footage
• Revisiting lawful processing
• Obtaining, recording and managing consent including for biometric data
• Data minimisation - retention and destruction of personal data, retaining emails

• Police requests for access to data
• Sharing data safely and securely
• Learning from recent data breaches and the official Information Commissioners Office advice

As a result of proactively engaging in this training programme, participants will maintain up-to-date knowledge on current data protection best practice, have an improved understanding of complex GDPR issues and be empowered to drive a strong compliance culture across their institution.
