Methodist Church GDPR Training - Manchester

To help managing trustees of Local Methodist Churches, Circuits, and Districts to better understand their obligations under the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and implement relevant policies and procedures, two training events are being offered by TMCP and the Connexional Team: one in Manchester and one in London (same content at each). A web based version of the training will be available on www.tmcp.org.uk shortly afterward.

What will be covered?

• Overview of GDPR and its implication for local churches, circuits and districts
• The resources available to help Managing Trustees including a GDPR Toolkit
• Consent – when should it be obtained?
• Data Security
• Data Destruction
• How to respond to data breaches
• Case studies with relevant examples to local churches, circuits and districts
• Opportunities for group discussion as well as questions and answers

Who should attend?

The training events are to assist ministers, officeholders and employees of local churches, circuits and districts who hold or process personal data. Due to the limited number of places circuits and districts are encouraged to identify one person who could attend the training event. This person will then be able to encourage and enable compliance with the new regulations within their circuit or district. Webinars will be available after the event for those not able to attend or unable to obtain a place.

Lunch will be provided but attendees must attend at their own travel cost.
