The General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (‘DPA 2018’) provide individuals with certain rights when it comes to their personal data and how it is processed by the Methodist Church. One of those rights is the right of access, more commonly known as a “Data Subject Access Request” (‘DSAR’).

TMCP’s slides from the GDPR Data Champion training days led by TMCP in Autumn 2019 and hosted by the firms on the Methodist Panel of Solicitors have now been uploaded to the TMCP website.

The Processor Record for Methodist Managing Trustees was launched via TMCP’s News Hub on 9 July 2019. Our data protection training sessions for data champions suggest that many of you may not be aware of this essential record. As the nights start to grow longer and the rain lashes down outside…

One of the firms on the Panel of Solicitors, Capsticks, has agreed to kindly host a series of afternoon session seminars for Managing Trustees to attend on the topic “Methodist Property Projects: Getting off on the right foot”.

The Data Protection FAQs have been updated to answer some of the questions that have arisen since the original FAQS were prepared including at the last years training events.

Managing Trustees may recall that for some time TMCP has been considering training for data champions. We now have a good number of data champions across the Connexion and it’s also over a year since GDPR came into force. In light of this TMCP have now put together a programme for relevant training for those Managing Trustees involved in data protection.
