The course covers the data protection principles as well as other relevant data protection subjects allowing compliance for companies and employees.  

Subject Access Requests or SAR's are an important subject for all employees to understand as they can be submitted to all members of staff so it is vital that everyone understands how important they are and what to do with them when they are received by any business.
