[This course will take you about 1hr 40mins to complete.]

As a foster carer, you store, create, share and sometimes dispose of large amounts of information relating to the children in your care. Much of this constitutes 'personal data', and it is your duty to keep this safe, both to protect the privacy and safety of your foster children, and to comply with GDPR.

In this course, you will learn:
- Why this is important
- The basic principles of GDPR, including the rights of individuals when it comes to their data
- How to keep data safe offline (including in conversations)
- How to keep data safe online
- How to both prevent and respond to potential data breaches
- When data needs to be shared.
