GDPR - Data Protection

GDPR Consultancy

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new law that will replace the Data Protection Act 1998 and will apply in the UK from 25 May 2018. GDPR represents the biggest change to data protection law for a generation, and it will impact every organisation that processes any kind of personal information.

GDPR will have some very specific impacts on Independent Foster Agencies which will affect how they manage data, as well as how data is processed by foster carers and how cared for children manage data in their own right.

Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has been clear about the importance of organisations, especially those handling the newly defined 'special category data' such as IFAs, preparing for and complying with the new laws.

As trained GDPR readiness assessors via the IASME scheme, Guardian Saints members are working with independent fostering agencies to raise awareness of the new law, its implications and obligations, and to help IFAs implement the necessary policy and process changes.

“If your organisation can’t demonstrate that good data protection is a cornerstone of your business policy and practices, you’re leaving your organisation open to enforcement action that can damage both public reputation and bank balance."
Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner

About the Workshop
To help IFAs understand the impact of GDPR and the changes they need to make to comply with the new law, Guardian Saints are hosting a series of workshops around the country.

Set over one day, and delivered by our data security industry experts and IASME accredited GDPR readiness assessors, we aim to cut through the jargon and put the new obligations clearly into a fostering context. During the workshops we will look at:

  • DPA vs GDPR - Why Did They Do It? Does Brexit Change Anything?
  • New Definitions of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
  • Sensitive Personal Data vs Special Category Data
  • Roles and Accountabilities For Data Controllers and Data Processors
  • Should We Worry About Third Parties? (Self Employed Carers are 3rd Parties)
  • What Countries Can European PII Data Be Processed In?
  • Consent - Now A Major Consideration & Transparency Requirements
  • The Right To Be Forgotten
  • Who Really Needs a Data Protection Officer? (The new scope of the DPO role)
  • Consequences Of Data Breaches & Process Failures - A New Fine Structure
