Specialist training to help you understand and manage the privacy risks when collecting, analysing, linking and sharing data about people, for research, evaluation or data analytics.
Why this module is important
There is a changing risk profile in the research sector. Technological developments can facilitate wide-scale data linkage, AI can turbo-charge analytics, funders and publishers are pushing for ‘open data’, yet at the same time community expectations with regards to privacy protections are increasing.

This module offers clarity and guidance.
