TMCP is providing a further training session on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on 13th July 2018 in Plymouth. Places are still available and the Data Protection Working Party encourage those Managing Trustees responsible for data protection to attend, if they have not attended any training to date.
The face-to-face training forms part of the suite of policies, guidelines, schedules, templates, detailed guidance and training (Data Protection Toolkit) that has been produced by the Data Protection Working Party. TMCP and the Connexional Team see the training as a vital part of the training Manging Trustees should undertake to understand their role as processors and the requirements of the data controllers.
Details of what the training includes, who it is aimed at and how to sign up are set out below for ease of reference. Take advantage of this free training designed especially for Methodist Managing Trustees and sign up or check that someone from your Circuit or District has already done so without delay. Don’t miss out!
Further training resources
Watch the first training webinar (GDPR Training Webinar 1 – Introduction to GDPR) if you have not had chance already. This provides an introduction to the GDPR and the steps to be taken by Managing Trustees.
Slides to accompany the presentation given by Amanda Flynn at the previous face-to-face training sessions are also available to view on TMCP’s website. There will also be a video of this training available on the website to accompany the slides over the coming weeks.
New webinars in the form of questions and answers on consent, use of personal email addresses and data security will be uploaded onto the website in due course.
Any training based questions, suggestions for topics that you would like us to cover or other data protection enquiries, please contact TMCP (dataprotection@tmcp.org.uk) regarding general data protection matters and the Conference Office for queries specifically relating to safeguarding or complaints and discipline matters (dataprotection@methodistchurch.org.uk).
