About this course
A spreadsheet sent to the wrong recipient or a shared folder with excessive access can expose someone’s personal information. This course follows how information moves through an ordinary working day and where an employee needs to check before proceeding.
Examples cover collecting only the details a task needs, keeping records accurate, choosing recipients and tools, and handling requests from the people whose data is held. The lessons also explain what to report after a mistake and why deleting a message is not a complete response. Training and assessment are in English.
