Blue CogData Protection e-Learning


Hampshire Learning Centre, working with subject experts have developed a 10 minute e-Learning course to introduce you to the subject of Data Protection and how it effects you and that way in which you work.

What will the Data Protection e-Learning cover?

Data Protection and more specifically the Data Protection Act effects us all in different ways during our working day. From the way that we process data, the way we deal with requests for data and even your own rights and responsibilities, it is very important that you understand how you should react to each situation.
