Information governance is one of the greatest challenges any organisation faces. The proper use of personal data means understanding the rights of data subjects and following the Data Protection Act, as well as getting ready for the General Data Protection Regulations and all critically important. Not doing so is one of the quickest ways to suffer financial and reputational loses not quickly undone – and the public and charity sectors have a track record of poor quality systems and decision making often leading to regulatory action.

By taking this course you will benefit from the years of experience and expertise developed by our trainers implementing information governance systems in a range of settings, as well as delivering training to people at all levels.

Designed not only to give you everything you need to know to develop and improve robust risk management systems, this course has been developed after carefully listening to people like you and how they want to learn.
