Data Protection and GDPR

Data protection refers to the process of handling data. Your responsibility as a graduate in practice is to ensure that you use data fairly and responsibly.

General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) is a regulation that covers data protection and privacy applicable in the European Union and UK. It is the gold-standard in terms of handling data.

It is important to know how to use your clients’ data. We have provided an overview for you about this in the Essential Training for Safe Practice module within your e-learning portal. It is also crucial that you understand what data protection regulations apply to your practice based on where you live and where your clients are based.
