What is GDPR?
GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation. It’s a set of UK and EU rules that protect people’s personal data and give them more control over how it’s used.

This course is suitable for anyone who handles personal data at work—whether in admin, care, HR, sales, education, or customer service. It’s especially important for roles involving records, emails, or databases.
What does the course cover?
The course introduces key GDPR principles, lawful reasons for processing data, individual rights, data breaches, consent, accountability, and your role in protecting data.
Is GDPR still relevant after Brexit?
Yes. The UK has its own version called the UK GDPR, which closely mirrors the EU version. The same rules and responsibilities still apply. Read more here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/
