Upcoming Data Protection Training Sessions 2026
Written by Myles Dacres
Our 2026 training programme brings together expert-led sessions across the most important areas of UK data protection law. From Subject Access Requests and breach management to AI governance and international data transfers, each session is designed to give your team practical knowledge they can apply straight away. Whether you’re building awareness or strengthening compliance at a leadership level, there’s a session for you.
We’re excited to share our upcoming training programme for 2026, packed with practical, expert-led sessions covering some of the most pressing areas of UK data protection compliance.
Whether you’re a DPO, compliance lead, HR professional, IT manager, board member, or someone looking to build their knowledge, there’s something here for you and your team.
Why this training matters
Data protection responsibilities aren’t getting any simpler. AI tools, increasing volumes of Subject Access Requests, cross-border data transfers, and growing board-level scrutiny mean that practical, up-to-date knowledge is more valuable than ever.
Our sessions are delivered by experienced practitioners who work with organisations across the UK every day. You won’t just learn the theory, you’ll walk away with guidance you can immediately apply within your organisation.
