The Mental Capacity Act is intended to assist and support people who may lack capacity and to discourage anyone who is involved in caring for someone who lacks capacity from being overly restrictive or controlling.

The UK has chosen to adopt in full a new key piece of legislation - the EU’s GDPR (the General Data Protection Regulation). This law will apply to all businesses and will enforce new guidelines and new regulations to follow when handling and storing data. It is crucial to ensure your business can comply with this new legislation.

This course is aimed at those involved in the handling of people’s information as part of their day to day role, providing a GDPR overview. Learners will understand the key principles and process under the regulation and what their roles and responsibilities include.
