This special half-day training event for members will explore three key areas of legislation for board members, senior executives and staff of public bodies and non-profit organisations. It will help to demystify the legislation and support members in ensuring compliance by their organisations with obligations and good practices.

The three areas to be covered are:

• Freedom of Information Act 2014
• GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
• Protected Disclosures Acts 2014 & 2022

The training will cover the key features of the legislation, the obligations they impose on organisations, and the processes which should be in place, alongside the types of issues which can arise, including through case studies.

The training will be delivered in-person at the IPA by three subject matter experts:

• Maebh O'Connor, IPA Specialist (on FOI)
• Feargal O'Neill, IPA Associate Specialist (on Data Protection)
• Sharon Dillon-Lyons BL, IPA Associate Specialist (on Protected Disclosures)
