In October 2024, the Data Use & Access Bill (DUAB) was introduced to Parliament, proposing changes to data protection rules in the UK.
But what is the impact of the Bill, and what will it mean for you – the practitioners responsible for compliance in day-to-day business?
Join us for a practitioner-focused discussion with Data Protection Officer Dom Newton from The DPO Centre, where we’ll cut through the legal jargon and explore the real-world impact of the Bill on data protection professionals.
Key topics we’ll cover:
What’s changing? A breakdown of the Bill’s impact
DPIAs, ROPAs & AI: Will your responsibilities increase?
What’s next? The latest developments and what to expect in 2025.
The DPO perspective: What your peers are saying about these changes.
Dom Newton is a CIPP/E and CIPM accredited Data Protection Officer (DPO) with over a decade’s experience in the field. He has worked across the Finance, Information Technology, Education, and Charity sectors, helping organisations understand privacy risks and aligning data protection practices with business needs.
