GDPR Online training: Update and Refresh

It has been two and a half years since the GDPR and Data Protection Act (2018) were introduced to the UK - UCL staff should now refresh and update their training, writes Fiona Ryland, UCL's Chief Operating Officer. It has been two and half years since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act (2018) were introduced in the UK. Since the introduction of this legislation, UCL has made a number of key efforts and changes to ensure our compliance with the law, including the provision of all staff training on data protection. When we rolled out the all staff training in October 2018, we achieved a rate of 100% completion of the training which has put UCL on a very good footing in meeting its compliance responsibilities. It is now time for all staff to undertake a refresher course to ensure we are all up to date on the principles of data protection. The UCL GDPR Programme has developed a staff refresher course, which consists of a series of questions on data protection, for which you are required to achieve a pass mark of 70%. An accessible version is also available for those that require one.
