Data Protection Essential Knowledge - Level 2
Training course carries 5 hours CPD points 

Courses take place in:

London, Belfast, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Brussels

 

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, including section 29 (crime and tax) and section 35 (disclosures required by law)
  • criminal offences - an introduction to the main offences in the DPA, including potential penalties
  • the power to fine – how, when and why the Commissioner will impose a fine on an organisation
  • 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
  • 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

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