GDPR - 1 year on a report by the ICO


On 30 May 2019 The #ICO published a report on their reflections and learning since the #GDPR was introduced in May 2018 and what their outlines plans are for the future. 

Since 25 May 2018 more than 40,000 data protection complaints were received and over 14,000 personal #databreaches reported. 

The ICO says the responsibility for compliance lies with organisations and for those organisations who do not take this responsibility seriously or those who break the #law, they will act “swiftly and effectively”

Data Protection investigations take time to complete and investigations commenced under the GDPR are now nearing completion with the issues, penalties and fines becoming apparent.

The ICO are looking for Data Protection Officers ( #DPO ) to be embedded and supported in their respective organisations by senior management. They expect organisations need to shift their focus to “accountability with a real evidenced understanding of the risks to individuals in the way they process data and how those risks should be mitigated”

Concrew Training believe this will only be achieved when Management and staff receive regular on-going training in Data Protection, GDPR, PECR and Privacy Impact Assessments ( PIA #PIAS ) are used pro-actively.

Using Social Media at Work - Staff rights and responsibilities

Why you need a Policy NOW ! Two recent Employment Tribunal cases, one involving Face book and another one with Twitter have one clear message in common for modern employers – the urgent need to have clear up to date, precise policies and procedures in place about the use of Social Media at work. Both the cases profiled below could have been lost by the employer had they not previously taken proactive policy steps to keep up to date with an ever changing scene. 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, including r
