Join us Thursday 22nd March from 9.30am – 12.30pm
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is coming into effect on 25 May this year. Since being announced in April 2016, many organisations have tried to come to terms with what the GDPR means and how it will affect their organisation. The main implications being how we approach new contacts, best ways of gaining consent and how to manage data to effectively avoid data breaches.
Last year we hosted a series of successful GDPR webinars to educate businesses and not-for-profits. This year we want to extend our efforts by offering a workshop to help your organisation make the final preparations before the big change in May.
In our workshop we will also be joined Paul Gibbons who has over 20 years’ experience working in information management and has previously worked for UK Parliament, Greater London Authority and local governments.
