Structure

We have designed the syllabus to ensure that delegates further their understanding to all the main aspects of GDPR and associated privacy legislation over the duration of the course.

This course takes a unique approach by replicating real-world situations, where a number of aspects of GDPR must be considered and applied simultaneously to complex multi-faceted scenarios. By not simply covering single issues in a linear fashion, this course will provide a holistic view of GDPR implementation. Delegates will be challenged to think laterally. In doing so, it will allow delegates to achieve a much higher level of knowledge depth and understanding.

Each masterclass will focus on recurring themes, such as GDPR principles and lawfulness, as well as specific issues. However, the course is designed to ensure that key syllabus points are thoroughly covered, including:

• The DP Principles
• Personal Data Breach
• Breach Notification
• International Transfers
• Lawfulness, Consent and Legitimate Interests
• Special Category Data
• Transparency /Privacy Notices
• Children
• CCTV & Surveillance
• Data Sharing
• Data Subjects' Rights
• ICO Powers
• DPA 2018 Exemptions
• Enforcement Notices
• Data Processors/Data Controllers
