Our Data Protection Early Years online training course by EYPServices is designed to give practitioners and childcare professionals an understanding of legislative requirements in relation to the Data Protection Act 1998 and their duties in sharing information safely.
Why is this course important?
Data protection and maintaining confidentiality is a vital part of our duty as early years leaders, managers and practitioners. The Data Protection Act 1998 gives guidance to all those who handle data and sensitive information a framework for safe working and collaborative information sharing. It also sets out clear penalties if any part of the Data Protection Act is not adhered to.
Understanding how to securely store and share information with the right people can make the difference between being professional and being caught on the wrong side of the law.
