Description
The course aims to provide focused advice to research staff and PGR
students on their own data protection issues. There will be an
introduction to data protection and the University’s new Information
Protection Policy. Finally the course will look at transferring data
arrangements, consenting research subjects and how to change practice to
be data protection compliant.

The course will consider ethical issues in working with research data,
including data protection principles – consent, security,
confidentiality, permitted purposes and how they apply to research. It
will consider protocols for working with research data.
Participants will have a better understanding of working within data
protection legislation, and will be better equipped to effectively
manage data that falls within this framework.

Feedback from previous participants:
"good examples used to bring the message alive and make a potentially
"dry" subject very interesting."
