CCTV / Data Protection Act Compliance Training Delivered Onsite
We are able to provide a bespoke course with regards to the Data Protection Act for your organisation.
These courses usually run for two and a half to four hours, and are delivered at the client’s offices, on site or at a client-convenient location. They are useful for organisations that need to develop their staff ‘s DPA awareness, or wish them to be trained aspects of the Data Protection Act, but for whom it would be inconvenient to take personnel off-site for a full day.
Who will benefit?
Anyone involved in the use of CCTV and in particular CCTV Managers & Operators, Estates Managers, Data Processors, Site Supervisors and Heads of Security wanting a refresher. The benefits to all delegates and their organisations are improved confidence in the use of their system and better-informed day-to-day decision making. Most importantly this training can result in a reduced risk of accusations of non-compliance being levelled against themselves or their organisation.
General content which is often included in the courses provided
- The Data Protection Act – What is it? To whom does it apply? Who is responsible for administering it? What is meant by “Personal Data” and “Data Processing” in a CCTV context?
- Notification and registration – when does the Information Commissioner’s Office have to be notified, and what information must be provided? Checking your registration. Exceptions and exemptions.
- The penalties for non-compliance.
- The Beneficial Owner, Data Controller and Data Processor – who are they and what are their obligations and responsibilities?
- The Eight Principles and detailed implications for CCTV operations – what is allowed and what is not? Differentiating between compliant and non-compliant use.
- The importance of documented Operating Procedures and the CCTV Policy Document.
- The requirements for Effective Management, Record Keeping and Compliant Signage. A neat and efficient way of putting these measures in place.
- Sources of further information
- Other related training as required by the organisation.
The course is packed full of detailed information and all delegates present for the full session receive a personalised Certificate of Attendance and a copy of the Information Commissioner’s Office CCTV Code of Practice.
