3. This specialised workshop focused on improving understanding and compliance with the best practice guide, applicable regardless of whether participation in the code scheme is considered.

The workshop concludes with a 30-minute assessment and debrief on the results. The assessment is set at a level achievable by the attendees.

UK GDPR & THE ABI CODE OF CONDUCT

Provisions in the UK GDPR have a direct bearing on the work of investigators. It is not a simple regulation to comprehend. Due to a lack of understanding of what is necessary to be compliant and a lot of misinformation, the privacy law brings hazards to the sector.

Since prevention is always preferable, the sector-specific and comprehensive Code of Conduct was developed.
