GDPR: Let's get real! Implementation workshop for VODG members

Organisations are preparing for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and VODG is responding to members needs with an offer: a free interactive workshop for colleagues to share and learn with peer organisations.

The GDPR will come into effect on the 25 May 2018 and will introduce significant data protection measures. This legislation will, in turn, result in new data protection commitments and accountabilities for organisations, including much greater responsibilities for all data processed within the social care and disability sectors.

All organisations are taking steps to understand these changes, and to take action to evidence awareness and a commitment to achieving compliance. This free workshop for members offers the opportunity to share progress and practice and to learn from others. We will use the time to break down the complexity of the new legislation and provide a common sense stepped approach on how members can achieve GDPR alignment. No sales, no long lectures just a real opportunity to work through some knotty issues with your peers.Registration for VODG members is open via this link.

Small teams from VODG member organisations are welcome.
