Description

Having a robust data protection strategy for your small charity or community organisation is key to ensuring you safeguard the personal information of everyone you interact with whether they are service users, partners, donors, staff or volunteers.

Join us for this introductory session to learn more about data protection legislation, including the new Data Use & Access Act (DUAA) 2025, and how to embed best practice and principles in your day to day work to ensure compliance.

This session is part funded by Trust for London.

*Identifying Personal Data: Learn to recognise different types of personal data and how to handle them securely

*Consent and Transparency: Understand the importance of obtaining consent from service users and maintaining transparency about your data practices.

Course format

Group introductory training webinar

This session is an online live-format webinar. As with all of Superhighways' online training, there will be some interactivity, which may include asking you to contribute to the chat, take part in polls or join a short breakout session for a conversation with other participants.

Joining by video will give you the best possible experience - but isn't essential throughout.

We may ask you to introduce yourselves. There will be a chance to ask questions.
