This course is designed to support colleagues who are actively involved in handling Subject Access Requests and who already possess a good general understanding of data protection law.

Article 15 of the UK GDPR (and for personal data processed for law enforcement s.45 Data Protection Act 2018) provide wide ranging rights of access to personal data. The course explores the scope of subject access rights and looks at the practicalities of complying with requests, ICO guidance and best practice.
