What customers say

“There is enough of a basic introduction for this to be applicable for all staff, for them to apply both to their work role and to recognise the impact of the regulations on the way that data is used within their private life.  Whilst the content is unavoidably dry, the details are delivered in a very clear, precise way with no ambiguity.  What I liked particularly were the real-life scenarios with suggested solutions.  Not only would these resonate with people who would recognise such concerns from within their own institution, but the solutions offered were practical without being patronising.  Using such real-life scenarios also helped to 'lift' the experience into something which quite clearly would have an impact on day-to-day understanding of all members of staff.”
