Event Summary

Join our Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) online training course to gain the knowledge and practical skills to carry out effective DPIAs in line with the UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act.

Attend this course for a clear understanding of DPIAs, when they are required, and how they support data protection by design across your organisation.

What are the key roles in the DPIA process? Gain a clear, step-by-step approach to conducting a DPIA, from describing the processing activity to assessing necessity, proportionality, and risk.

What does ‘high risk’ mean? Learn how to assess the likelihood and severity of risks to individuals’ rights and freedoms, identify appropriate mitigation measures, and refine your assessment through consultation and feedback.

Learn how to document your findings clearly, present DPIA outcomes to decision-makers and understand how residual risk is managed in practice. Explore governance structures and the advisory role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO).

By the end of this half-day training, you’ll be able to recognise when a DPIA is required, identify and assess risks, evaluate the necessity and proportionality of processing, document decisions effectively, and embed data protection by design into projects from the outset.
