Hi E-news reader

‘A detailed and methodical approach to data protection. This comprehensive guide is an accessible source of information filled with valid and relevant examples. I found it a particularly great help in getting to grips with specific areas, such as consent and contracts.’

Kirsty Cunningham, Head of Fundraising, St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity

 

 

What it's about: Data Protection for voluntary organisations will enable you to set a shining example of best practice by complying with UK data protection legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in force since 2018. This book will help you:

 

  • Understand the key principles and elements of data protection
  • Recognise your responsibilities as a data controller
  • Distinguish when you need consent from individuals to hold and use their data (and when you don’t)
  • Ensure that your organisation’s security measures are appropriate
  • Appreciate what the rights of data subjects are

 

Who it's for: A must-read for anyone in the UK voluntary sector who wants to get beyond tick-box data management. Invaluable to data managers or those who handle personal information such as IT, personnel, marketing and fundraising departments. For professional advisers and academics it will also offers a valuable summary that draws out key data protection points by examining and interpreting the primary legislation.

Charity Law and Executive Pay  free event - Thursday 15 April

This event asks what charity law and regulation have to say on the subject and then how that law is, or should be, applied to universities: a significant section of the charity sector (though not widely recognised as such) and one where publicised instances of high pay have drawn widespread and fierce criticism, not least from politicians. Sign up to the event here.
