The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) should be at the heart of every organisation’s legislative compliance program. The pace of change in this area has rapidly increased over the last few months with a number of high profile issues and cases which require detailed consideration by data protection lawyers and practitioners. We will explore and analyse the latest cases and the practical implications for compliance. The program is sufficiently fluid to take account of latest issues and cases at the time of the course and six months prior to it. Time will also be devoted to discussing issues important to delegates. This advanced workshop is suitable for those who know about the DPA but wish to develop and keep up to date their knowledge. It is also an ideal step up for those who have attended our basic Data Protection A to Z workshop.
