Data Protection Training
Essential Employee Data Protection Training
Welcome to our comprehensive training programs designed to ensure your organisation stays compliant with the requirements laid out in the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR.
Our courses offer an in-depth understanding of the compliance requirements helping your staff manage the personal data you process lawfully and effectively.
Developed by experienced data protection specialists, our training is designed to build confidence across your workforce, from front-line staff to senior management, ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities under current data protection law.
We offer tailored training sessions designed to suit all levels. Our experience includes delivering online training to large groups of public sector lawyers, smaller sessions for experienced Local Government Councillors, customised workshops for individual teams and departments, as well as in-person training for entire organisations.
There is no minimum or maximum numbers required for the sessions to go ahead, although we recommend capping the head count to 25 if you can.

Tailored Sector-Specific Training
