Data Protection - Essential Knowledge
With Peter Carey, expert on European Data Privacy Law, and Consultant with both PDP and London law firm, Charles Russell.

Training courses in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast and Edinburgh.

Data protection compliance is an essential legal requirement for all organisations. Investigations by the Information Commissioner (the UK data protection regulator) continue to gather pace for all sectors. It is best to put data protection procedures in place before problem occurs to avoid legal liability, negative publicity and cost of regulatory enforcement. All staff who work with personal data should receive basic training in data protection compliance.

This invaluable and practical training session, led by internationally-acclaimed data protection expert and trainer Peter Carey, examines core concepts of practical data protection compliance.

and authority. Cannot ask for more!"
