The DPA and FOIA

The ISEB Certificate in Data Protection and Certificate in Freedom of Information cover the two principle pieces of legislation, as you might expect. If your role involves handling Subject Access Requests and requests for information under these Acts, you will already appreciate their scope.

For those who are new to the Acts, perhaps looking to establish whether they are applicable to their roles, we have provided some background information in the two sections on the left: The DPA and the FOIA.

The courses also cover related legislation, such as the Privacy of Electronic Communications (PEC) Regulations, the Computer Misuse Act, the Human Rights Act, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and more.
