There is so much cyber security advice available these days, many people find it hard to know where to start.

Equally, many small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and charities may not have the resources to put any cyber security ...

Mishandled data can lead to serious consequences for organisations as well as for individual staff members, including financial penalties and disciplinary action.

Compliance with data protection legislation is both a personal and an organisational responsibility. All staff, including volunteers, have a responsibility to know how to process personal data.

‘Information sharing is vital to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. A key factor identified in many serious case reviews (SCRs) has been a failure by practitioners to record information, to share it, to understand its significance and then take appropriate action’ (HM Government, Information sharing, 2015).

This workshop looks to understand this system further and enable people to access it. This event will look to address the fears and prejudice surrounding benefits, clarify misconceptions and build understanding of the processes so staff can support young people and families to get the support they are both enti ...
