Our Information Governance Unit deals with Data Protection Act requests and queries, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs) so that agreements comply with data regulations and underpin legislation, all the while collaborating effectively with our partner organisations. As part of the team, you’ll promote best practice and consistency as you advise colleagues on data protection compliance issues.
