Study visit

It is important to recognise that getting data protection right may be more of a challenge to some organisations than others. We want to do all we can to support engaged and positive compliance and as part of a package of initiatives, we offer 'study visits' for organisations who may want to explore a specific area of data protection.

What is a Study Visit?

  • It’s a structured session with ODPA staff where a limited number of people from an organisation explores a specific topic or issue in detail with the aim of raising awareness of it.
  • It can be held at the ODPA or at the organisation’s premises.
  • It is not a training session.
