The Vermont Hotel Newcastle , Castle Garth, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 1RQ

THIS EVENT HAS NOW PASSED. CLICK HERE TO SEE FULL LIST OF UPCOMING EVENTS ON OUR HOMEPAGE

The UK government has confirmed that GDPR implementation will come in to force on the 25th May 2018 . This will have a huge impact on employers and will affect  all organisations no matter what size. As employers it is imperative that your preparations start now to ensure that your policy and procedures are legally watertight and ICO compliant by the May 2018 deadline as a failure to do so can have serious punitive financial and reputational consequences.
