Data Protection - GDPR eLearning

Overview

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable throughout the European Union from 25 May 2018. This introductory module puts the GDPR into context, highlighting its core requirements in a way that is sufficiently comprehensive to be suitable for all staff needing to be aware of its purpose and impact.
