Course Overview

Most contractual disputes about data protection impact assessments are decided by what was written, not what was intended. The commercial risk in impact assessments usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. The programme suits teams tackling the practice within legal and contractual practice together as readily as individuals attending alone. They acquire practical criteria for judging when data protection impact assessments is working and when it is only appearing to. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the legal and contractual practice discipline outperform teams that only plan it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in impact assessments rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. This programme builds data protection impact assessments from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Plans for impact assessments often fail at the handover point between functions. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of legal and contractual practice sustainable.
