Everything you legally need to know and adhere to as someone handling special category data (your therapeutic client notes) and working with UK clients in your therapy practice. This includes templates of all legislation you should legally have in place as a practising therapist in the UK, such as data retention schedules, privacy policies, and more.  

 

 

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and DPA came into effect in 2018. As professionals who use personal and sensitive data, legally we should implement several measures to safeguard our client’s data. This course refreshes what we should be doing and covers ‘what’s new’ under the GDPR 2018. This includes using granular consent and having our own policies and procedures set in place and made available to our clients when they access our services. This course equips you with the knowledge of what you are required to have in place and provides you with written templates you can tweak according to what is relevant to your own business.

Learning Objectives:

This course equips you with:

  • A basic understanding of GDPR and how it may affect your practice.
  • Information about what is reasonably practicable in holding all types of data securely.
  • A template of documents for use in your own organisation, and
  • Where to go for further information
  • Full resource pack for your practice
  • Certificate of attendance

 

The accompanying information pack contains the following:

 

  • Full Privacy Policy:
  • Section A:
  • Introduction
  • Aim and purpose
  • Information Governance Principles
  • Section B:
  • Privacy Notice
  • Third Party Services (e.g., website cookies)

  • Data Processing (including lawful basis for processing)
  • Section C:

  • GDPR FAQs – Mini Privacy Policy (to discuss and provide to clients at first appointment)
  • A list of next actions you will need to take (including how to insert your business name into the documents and replace my business name)
  • A list of useful links
  • Template paragraph for requesting consent for a testimonial.
  • Granular consent form (links to GDPR FAQs document)
  • Privacy statement for email

CPD Length: 90 minutes, plus hours worked on the resource pack which will vary from person to person.

 

“Thank you, Tania, for putting together the course.  You brought a pragmatic and common-sense approach to a topic which has brought forth much confusion and mis-information elsewhere.  Although I’d invested many hours of reading and research to move from DPA to GDPR/DPA2018 compliance it was really helpful to contextualise information I’d gleaned and see I was in the right place, putting some grounding to where I’d reached. Importantly, your templates have saved me at least a days work so just for that it’s been great value.  But more so, the clarification of my thinking and understanding has been the real gain. Definitely recommend to counsellors and psychotherapists – the material is equally applicable to someone new to the field or us ol’-timers, and as keeping abreast of changes to legislation is enshrined in the ethical standards of BACP and GDPR, participation in the course makes its a double win. Big thanks, Alex (Supervisor and Senior Accredited Clinician).”
