The Data Protection Act 2018

Data Protection practitioners need to have a good understanding of the Data Protection Act 2018 which supplements the UK GDPR.

The DPA 2018 introduces exemptions to the normal GDPR rules as well as additional obligations when processing Special Category Data and criminal records data. It also implements, under Part 3, the Law Enforcement Directive which regulates the processing of personal data about criminal investigations and prosecutions. Part 3 applies to law enforcement agencies as well as those with investigation and prosecution powers.

This workshop will discuss the main provisions of the DPA 2018 as well as the impact of Brexit. Alongside the tutor’s expert knowledge, the case studies and exercises will enhance your knowledge of the UK data protection regime.

This in an intermediate course. You should have a working knowledge of the UK GDPR.

TESTIMONIALS

The Data Protection Act 2018 day provided me with a comprehensive breakdown of the content of the Act and how it integrates with the GDPR. It covered a lot of information without feeling too mindboggling and it was great to be able to ask questions and discuss real life issues that came to mind as we galloped through the legislation. At no point did I feel overwhelmed but I do feel very informed. Thanks for such a useful day (and for the sweets at the venue which helped with the after dinner slump)

SM, University of Surrey

Good course with lots of relevant discussion amongst delegates. Trainer very knowledgeable and made a dry subject interesting.

K.M, NHS Scotland

Very useful to go through the elements of the DPA 2018 separately from the GDPR. Having also completed the GDPR Practitioner certificate, I would highly recommend this as a follow up for anyone having to use any of the DPA Schedules!

VP, University of Surrey

I have always found Act Now training to be informative and really applicable to the realities of dealing with DP issues. I will definitely attend more of your courses.

SH, Swansea University

Excellent course, it covered everything I needed with extras. The opportunity to network with others in a similar position to myself was of great benefit.
