Data Protection Changes Onerous but Largely Unknown

The proposed changes to Data Protection Legislation are onerous and some might even say draconian.   100 Million Euro fines for breaches !! But more worrying still is the large number of UK businesses who are unaware of the proposed changes.

If these are implemented in the way the draft European directives propose then all businesses that store customer or supplier data are likely to be affected and the the impact will be significant.

It is imperative that all businesses and organisations ensure they are familiar with the proposed changes and begin to plan for worst case scenarios.  

Leaving action to the last minute is likely to be too late.

Concrew Training's one-day course on Data Protection brings participants up to date on current requirements and how these may change in the very near future.  In doing so it helps participants understand and prepare for the changes better

Face Book The Face Book case arose from an unfair dismissal claim. The Employment Tribunal held that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct after she made inappropriate comments on Face book about two customers who had verbally abused and threatened her.   The Face Book chat took place while the employee was at work and did not reflect her upset or anger at the customers, but appeared to be a joke between friends.  However, a wider audience was able to look at her Face Book page, in...
