I want to make a complaint!

Despite the desperate hype of some, the DUAA contains few obligations. But there is at least one that all controllers must have in place. You might already be doing it, but it’s still important to make sure that you’re doing it right You have to have a complaints procedure for data protection issues. The ICO is putting a lot of faith in the success of this, so it’s worth making sure yours works. Available as a recording.

Buy my book

The DPO Daily Challenge is my slightly demented book, which contains 250 scenario based questions – some of them are easy, some of them are complicated. Some have a straightforward answer, many do not. It’s very deliberately divided it into ‘The Questions’ and ‘My Answers’ because you may disagree with some of my conclusions. Will you accept the challenge?

Live courses

I run practical, entertaining courses covering specific, real-world subjects. Learn about the implications of CCTV use, DPIAs, using personal data for equality, diversity and inclusion and even developing your skills as a stoical, inventive and effective DP professional. If you want  rigour combined with a spontaneous and engaging approach, these courses are for you.

In-house

Tell me what material you want to cover, how many people you want to attend and whether you’d prefer to run it online or in person and we’re in business. I will add expenses for in-person, but I will also like you more. You can take a course I already run or make up one from bits and pieces in my repertoire. The format is up to you, as long as you have £1000 + VAT for a full day, or £500 + VAT for half.

Scenario-based courses

I have a huge range of recorded courses on offer. Some are clean recordings, but most were live sessions which are sometimes interrupted by questions and occasionally delivery drivers. I am not a robot, so what you get is opinionated, unscripted and spontaneous but full of practical advice. You can buy one session, but I also have bundled offers which are great value. Buy two and the discounts apply.

Book a meeting

Do you have a challenging, nay intractable subject access request that you need to discuss? A data sharing nightmare that you want a second opinion about? A carefully curated list of questions that you sit on until you have enough to justify talking to someone about? This is basically what people do when they meet me. Book me for  30 minutes minimum and I will set your mind at ease.

Advice service

As well as regular training courses, I also offer a series of scenario-based sessions. I always include lots of real-life examples in my sessions, but these sessions dodge the usual structure of the trainer doing a lot of the talking. You and your team will be faced with a challenging situation – a SAR from an employee, a DPIA on CCTV, a lost memory stick – and then you have to work out what to do about it.
