Data (Use and Access) Act Training
Advent IM’s DUA Act Training explains legal and operational duties for accessing and managing data, supporting compliance across all sectors.
Course Overview
Introduced to modernise data governance and enhance protections around data use, the Data (Use and Access) Act was developed in response to changing technological, regulatory, and societal demands.
The Act is expected to significantly influence data practices across UK public sector and policing organisations by promoting greater transparency, accountability, and ethical data sharing. It introduces clearer legal frameworks for data access, strengthens oversight mechanisms, and emphasises responsible use of personal and sensitive information. For policing bodies, this includes ensuring that data is used proportionately and securely while maintaining public trust. Organisations will need to align their data policies with the new requirements, adopt more robust compliance measures, and invest in workforce training to meet heightened expectations around data stewardship.
Delivered by an Advent IM Trainer, this course provides a clear introduction to the Data (Use and Access) Act (DUA Act), its purpose, and why it was introduced by the UK government.
The course will cover the following key areas:
- Introduction to DUA Act
- Key Changes Introduced by the DUA Act
- Compliance Requirements for Organisations
- Best Practices for Data Management Under the DUA Act
- Sector-Specific Considerations
- Case Study Analysis
- Data Subjects’ Rights and Organisational Responsibilities
