GDPR training has become increasingly critical for businesses since 2018, when inboxes were flooded with emails about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The data protection rules came into force on 25 May that year, establishing strict guidelines for how we collect and process personal data.
You probably took part in some training, but did you know that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) expects companies to arrange and conduct regular training to meet its compliance obligations?
GDPR Training Requirements
Professional GDPR training should be conducted annually to maintain compliance standards. Don’t worry, this doesn’t need to be a ‘death by PowerPoint’ classroom course!
Flexible Learning Solutions
Effective GDPR training takes many forms, from webinars to interactive team sessions. It could be a 30-minute team meeting, a quiz, or a video – you know what is appropriate for your team and what is relevant to your organisation.
ICO Compliance Guidelines
The ICO outlines clear expectations for training and awareness:
- All staff training programme
- Induction and refresher training
- Specialised roles
- Monitoring
- Awareness-raising
Remember to consider training needs for new hires, individuals returning from leave, promotions and people changing roles.
