£17.95
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 require services, including fostering services, to ensure that they hold and process personal information safely and securely. But for both local authorities and independent fostering providers, there are difficult questions about how to manage their responsibilities to social workers, foster carers and the children who are placed with them.
An ideal resThis authoritative guide will help fostering services, at all different stages of establishing data protection policies and practices, to ensure that they comply with legal requirements. In straightforward language, it sets out technical advice on data security practice and policies, whilst also being complex enough to have a real use for agencies that need to address particular issues. It provides clarity about the role of both foster carers and staff with regard to GDPR, and also identifies data security risk areas that are particular to fostering, and how best to address these.
This is an ideal resource for all fostering social workers and managers. The guide will give local authorities and independent fostering services in England confidence about how best to comply with the requirements around data protection.

Reviews
A clear, readable guide written by authors who understand how fostering services and foster carers work, the day-to-day operating issues, pressures and dilemmas they face, and therefore what actions and practices are possible and practical for services to implement to comply with the GDPR and DPA 2018. Invaluable for fostering services at the outset of establishing their policies and practices, but also for those who wish to review their progress thus far and adjust and improve on what they already have in place.

I have been reading your book on Complying with GDPR which I found really helpful and so much easier to understand than anything I have read before. Thank you.
