About the course

Data protection law sets out how organisations must collect, use, store, and protect personal information. With increased enforcement powers and higher penalties under the current data protection regime, it is essential that staff understand the basics of data protection and their responsibilities when handling personal data.

The Introduction to Data Protection Training course provides a clear and engaging overview of data protection law, including the Data Protection Act and the GDPR. It explains how data protection legislation has evolved, why these changes were introduced, and what they mean in practice for organisations and individuals.

Learners will explore the key differences between earlier data protection rules and the current framework. The course also explains why keeping personal data secure is so important, the enhanced rights individuals now have over their information, and the consequences of failing to comply with the law.

Designed as an entry level course, this training is ideal for anyone who needs a solid understanding of data protection principles without requiring specialist knowledge.

On successful completion, learners receive a digital certificate confirming CPD hours and learning objectives.
