GDPR Awareness CPD - Breach Awareness

(0)
GDPR CPD - Breach Awareness This GDPR CPD resource is aimed at developing awareness of data breaches in staff by asking them to consider a series of common scenarios. This group activity removes the burden of the GDPR lead to deliver training as the school authority, and instead asks staff to identify the actions and mitigations required to deal with some common causes of data breaches in schools. The session ends with a set of priorities for improving security when handling data in school. The activity resources are published as a single A3 PDF as a pack to be provided to groups of staff and can be adapted to support CPD sessions from 20 to 90 minutes.
