As so many people were away last week, we are repeating this – The ICO has launched a free online training programme called Data Protection Essentials and according to their opening page:
- Data Protection Essentials is a free online training and self-assessment programme created especially for small and medium-sized organisations, their employees, and sole traders.
- Designed by ICO experts, it gives you clear guidance to take the guesswork out of data protection, and the practical know-how to apply the essentials confidently in your everyday work.
- The training is bite-sized, self-paced and fits into your working day, making it easier to build good data protection habits to help your organisation thrive.
