Mandatory training modules

It is vitally important that we are all aware of data protection and information security requirements in order to protect against breaches of the Data Protection Act. These breaches can have damaging consequences for individuals as well as the University and its staff.
 
There are two mandatory online training modules covering data protection/GDPR and cyber security (presented together as one package) that all University staff must complete as part of the induction and annual review processes. These modules help to provide staff with the necessary knowledge and awareness to protect against threats and risks, and ensure they manage information appropriately. 
 
The training should also be completed by post-graduate research students undertaking reserach involving the collection and analysis of personal data.
 
These mandatory training modules are accessed from within Develop: Develop sign-in webpage
