This session is led by Peter Carey, the UK's foremost data protection trainer. Peter has written the leading book, "Data Protection - A Practical Guide to UK and EU Law", and he is a highly respected and skilled trainer. Peter consistently receives a mode average of "excellent" in feedback grading from delegates for all sessions that he teaches.
