VWV Data Protection Academy - Mastering Subject Access Requests - Online

Interactive training for the education and charity sectors - Online

Managing subject access requests (SARs) can be one of the most time-consuming and complex aspects of data protection. This interactive training session is designed to give you clear, practical tools to handle SARs confidently and efficiently - with a focus on the real challenges you face in the education and charity sectors.

Led by sector specialists, the training will cover:

• Taking a strategic approach
• When to seek ID and clarification
• Extending your response deadline appropriately
• Making effective, proportionate searches
• Applying key exemptions
• Handling safeguarding and health data with care
• Providing the required supplementary information
• Streamlining your processes to save time
• Key updates under the Data (Use and Access) Act

The session is hands-on, discussion-led, and designed to give you confidence in what to do; not just an overview of the rules. To support that, we’re limiting spaces at both events to ensure plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get involved.

Who should attend this session?

This training is ideal for data protection leads, DPOs, bursars, compliance officers, senior leaders and trustees working in schools, academy trusts, colleges, universities or charities.

Please note: This training is exclusively for employees, directors and trustees of schools, academy trusts, colleges, universities and charities. It is not open to organisations providing data protection services to these sectors.
