We recognise that not all staff need a detailed full day training course on GDPR.

In just over 30 minutes, the Act Now GDPR E-Learning Platform will allow delegates to grasp the basic dos and don'ts of GDPR. It consists of two narrated modules covering:

  • The main provisions of GDPR including new Data Subject rights; and
  • How to keep personal data safe and secure

Upon completion delegates will:

  • Understand the importance of complying with GDPR and the consequences of not doing so
  • Have a good knowledge of the key provisions of GDPR
  • Understand what they need to do to comply with GDPR
  • Appreciate the importance of good data security
  • Know what they need to do to keep data safe
  • Be aware of the importance of appropriate data privacy and security policies
  • Be able to direct customers and colleagues to appropriate policies
  • Know when to ask managers and the data protection officer for advice

In producing these modules we have had regard to the Information Commissioner's Data Protection training checklist.
