For governance and reporting reasons, all staff must complete the training on the new system even if they have recently undertaken it. Once completed, it won’t need to be repeated for two years.
The University of Edinburgh is committed to complying with data protection law and our Data Protection Policy mandates this training. This is to ensure we all stay up to date with how to keep everyone’s information safe, whether it belongs to our staff, students, or visitors, by preventing data protection breaches and handling requests for personal data correctly.
