GDPR for Professional Communicators - Newcastle - 21 March
2018-03-21 08:30 - 10:30 UTC | nesma Study Centre, 19 Lansdowne Terrace, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE31HP, United Kingdom
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect across Europe on 25th May 2018 – that’s less than three months away. It’s intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU) while addressing the export of personal data outside the EU.

It’s most certainly a hot topic and something that is going to affect us all as professional communicators and data processors. So, if you’re unsure what it’s all about and more importantly, what you need to do for yourself, your organisation and the clients you represent when it comes to GDPR, come along to CIPR North East’s breakfast briefing in collaboration with Valued Accountancy, where you can find out more.
What you can expect to learn:
There’s a lot of confusion and scaremongering about GDPR going on, with a heavy emphasis on the fines that can be imposed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We, as business owners or professional communicators within an organisation, first and foremost have a right to understand how we will be impacted by this new legislation. As business partners and strategic advisors, we also have a duty of care to the people we work with, so they can be safe in the knowledge that we are processing data in the right way and to best practice standards.
In this breakfast briefing, we’ll debunk the myths, share practical insights as well as educate and inform so that you are able to make informed choices about how much GDPR will affect you, the organisation where you work and your clients.
What will be covered during the event?

Data – what is it, how we use it, do we need it?
Background of the legislation.
How have we got here?
What does it mean?
How will affect me, my organisation and my clients?
What are the practical steps I need to consider?

Get help with GDPR compliance - Newcastle - 28 March
2018-03-28 | nesma Study Centre, 19 Lansdowne Terrace, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE31HP, United Kingdom
Companies need to meet the GDPR Fundamentals standard.
The GDPR Fundamentals framework will give you confidence in your compliance and provide you with the appropriate evidence to present to suppliers and customers to help to maintain trust. Plus you can demonstrate to the Information Commissioners’ Office (ICO) that you are following an established process.
So what is the standard and why should you attend this course?
In essence, if you have a website, promote yourself through email marketing or employ staff you need to understand the implications of GDPR.
The GDPR is all about demonstrating compliance. This programme will help you understand your organisation’s legal duties, put a spotlight on any changes you need to make and ultimately ensure you reach the GDPR Fundamentals standard.
The GDPR Fundamentals standard has been devised to assist organisations in their efforts to comply with the new data protection regulation. It offers businesses the opportunity to obtain external recognition of their GDPR management system and has been written using the principles of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
If you are an organisation that processes any personal data (client or staff data) and operates in the EU or handles information concerning data subjects located in the EU you should consider meeting this standard. In short, if you are currently subject to the Data Protection Act, it is likely that you will also be subject to the GDPR.
To ensure your business is compliant, we would recommend that you need these three things:

the training,
the audit
and the certificate.

The Training will give you the knowledge to assess your organisation relative to the GDPR requirements using a practical framework that will assist you to understand what it means to be compliant. Businesses will receive a GDPR Fundamentals attendance certificate from the accrediting body on completion of the course of the 1-day training.
The Audit delivered in the form of a two-hour survey carried out by an accredited GDPR Fundamentals Practitioner will help you to assess your systems and policies against the demands of the GDPR Fundamentals standard.
The GDPR Fundamentals of Compliance is a recognised management standard for data protection compliance which immediately identifies that your organisation has been audited by an independent third party and that you can demonstrate compliance.
We have broken this down into three packages to help you to make the right choice depending on your organisation’s needs:
Option 1 – How do you know if you are compliant?
1-day training including a GDPR Fundamentals attendance certificate from the accrediting body on completion of the course.
£395 + VAT
Option 2 – Testing your compliance

Includes everything listed in Option 1 plus an audit of your organisation’s current compliance with GDPR. A report will be produced including recommendations for improvement.
from £645 + VAT*
*Depending on the business size

Micro business = £645 + VAT
Small business = £745 + VAT
Medium business = £895 + VAT
Large business = £1,145 + VAT
Additional attendees = £395 + VAT

Option 3 – Affirming your compliance
Including everything listed in Option 2 plus a GDPR Fundamentals certificate of compliance for your organisation*
from £995 + VAT**
*The certificate of compliance will only be issued once you have met the standard. The training and audit is designed to provide you with the practical understanding required to meet the standard.
**Depending on business size.

Micro business = £995 + VAT
Small business = £1.195 + VAT
Medium business = £1,445 + VAT
Large business = £1,795 + VAT

In-house GDPR training
In-house training can be arranged if you have four or more staff to train. Any or all of the options above can be included. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Your trainer
Kate Armstrong is an accredited GDPR Fundamentals Practitioner who is qualified to take you through the training and audit process, helping your organisation to prepare the evidence required for submission to the GDPR Fundamentals Certifying Body.

From informing to engaging: the role of IC in driving engaging and authentic leadership communications
The role of internal communications is moving from a broadcast, top-down mode to playing a vital role in driving employee engagement and becoming a platform for leadership to share vision, values and set a culture agenda.
In a world of agile and remote working, employees are increasingly looking for a sense of belonging as well as authenticity from their leaders and managers: winning their hearts and minds and building a culture of trust that will engage them and make them want to follow and advocate. Enhancing your approach to leadership communication and direction across the business needs to be carefully managed and planned if it’s to drive any form of behavioural change.
In this interactive session, we will share with you some of our thinking around creating authentic and engaging leadership communication that feels human and inspiring. We will explore:
The role you play within your organisation
As a communications professional working in internal communications, are you also regarded as a trusted advisor to the leadership team?
How you can influence leadership to be less corporate and more authentic and human in how they communicate?
The way you communicate is an outward expression of your culture and your people, so how do you set the right tone of voice and expression of leadership communications?
The role of design in engagement
With sometimes limited resources, how can you optimise your existing channels and use brilliant creative to attract more attention and drive engagement?
The importance of measurement
How do you ensure you are constantly measuring the impact of your communications in driving behavioural change, perception and advocacy?
Representatives from our digital, brand engagement and creative teams will share some of their best practice approaches and provide some pragmatic insights and examples.
Please note: the event opens at 9AM for a prompt 9:30AM start.
