Data Confident is made up of 9 core modules and the Refresh module. Each module has been carefully written so that the learner feels they are being addressed directly by their organisation. Our estimated time to complete is stated after each module title.
001 - Data Confident (10 MINS)
So, your job can sometimes involve collecting and sharing personal and sensitive information. And you want to work honestly, transparently and securely. Alongside all this day to day stuff, the Data Protection Act 2018 has tightened up how we all collect, process and store personal data. This module introduces three types of data. Two of them you might be dealing with regularly - Personal Data and Special Category Data. And thenthere's Criminal Conviction Data, which you need to know about, but we won't actually be dealing with on this course.
