There\u2019s no escaping it. GDPR is coming<\/strong>. And we (you) need to be ready (by 25th May 2018 ideally). I blogged about GDPR in some detail in my Development Blog back in January<\/a>, but as I come across new resources, information and guidance I\u2019ll be sharing it with you regularly. After all, we\u2019ve now only got three months to go (and we all know what happens when you leave homework to the last minute!)<\/span><\/p>\n

New resources<\/span><\/h2>\n

This guide from NAVCA is a very useful, easy to read introduction<\/a>. Although originally aimed at Infrastructure organisations, it\u2019s an easy read for any group.<\/span><\/p>\n

An event took place in Manchester this week (21st Feb) organised by the Information Commissioners Office. The opening speech is worth a read (here)<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s a reminder about the critical principles of Data Protection. Although GDPR is a \u2018new flavour\u2019 of data protection coming along in May, the basic principles of the Data Protection Act have been around for a long time, yet not everyone has them in the front of their minds. So read the speech and share it with your key managers and trustees. GDPR tries to introduce Data Protection by Design. This speech reinforces this.<\/span><\/p>\n

A very short video (1m30s)<\/a><\/span> from a lawyer about the importance of Privacy Notices. Have you even started looking at your own Privacy Notice yet?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re keen, committed (and can afford it), then NCVO have a full day GDPR conference in Liverpool on 13th March<\/span><\/a>. All the details are here. If anyone local attends perhaps they can contact me so we can share what was learned?<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally – there\u2019s plenty of relevant information about GDPR and the sector on KnowHowNonProfit just here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Training<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re attending the Volunteer Managers Network meeting on 15th March<\/strong> there will be a short introductory session there going over the basics of GDPR. Rather than \u2018training\u2019 consider this \u2018headlines\u2019 and a quick Q&A to make sure everyone is aware of the starting point and next steps in getting ready for GDPR. (You can find out more about the VMN meeting here<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

But on Monday 26th March there will be a \u201cGDPR basics – getting yourself ready<\/a>\u201d workshop at VANEL<\/strong> offices. From 2pm-4pm this will be an introductory workshop trying to clear through the jargon and complexities and put GDPR into practical terms that you can take away and use.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s already no shortage of information and guidance on GDPR. You can get to lots of that via my article here. There\u2019s nothing stopping you reading it all and getting your own plan together (indeed you probably should start looking at it all). But two (many?) heads are better than one. So I hope by coming together in this workshop I can summarise all this information, clarify practical issues, give examples and templates and allow discussion around our real life examples and how we might solve them (before May).<\/span><\/p>\n

Places limited. Booking essential. \u00a320 per person (for VANEL member organisations) or \u00a330 for non-members. If necessary we may restrict numbers of people attending from one organisation. Book directly with me (Karl Elliott – karl@vanel.org.uk<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n\n
