This course is aimed at people acting in the ‘Designated Person’ role working in a variety of organisations including schools, children’s daycare and residential settings, also services providing support to children and families in the voluntary and private sector.

Data Protection for Fundraisers - Be GDPR Ready
2017-06-06 08:30 - 12:30 | Cardiff, Cardiff
Delivered in partnership with Birketts, this series of practical and interactive seminars is designed specifically with fundraisers in mind and will address the challenges and opportunities that the implementation of the new GDPR will bring.
Did you know that the current data protection laws are being completely replaced by new laws that come into effect in May 2018? It may seem like a long way off but complying with the new law will require a full review of existing data protection policies and procedures and is likely to mean the introduction of new measures across your organisation. A failure to properly comply with the new law can result in a fine of up to €20 million, so the stakes are high. It has been confirmed that this European legislation will be implemented in the UK, despite Brexit. This practical half day session will focus on the changes introduced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and look at how these will impact on your fundraising activities. During the session you will be provided with high quality guidance notes and create a compliance step plan identifying the measures that you own organisation should take in the run up to May 2018.

IWA Debate: Has the Welsh Government given up on tackling poverty?
2017-06-13 18:00 - 21:00 | Cardiff, Cardiff
in partnership with Cardiff University
In February 2017, the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children announced that the Communities First Programme would be phased out by March 2018.
In the announcement he conceded that whilst “…Communities First has been successful in its impact on many individuals in poverty, …it has not had an impact on overall poverty levels in Wales, which remain stubbornly high.”
The absence of any plans to replace the Communities First Programme has led some to question if the Welsh government has given up on tackling poverty altogether.
Speakers and agenda for this debate will be confirmed shortly.
The Cardiff University – IWA debate series brings together researchers, policymakers and practitioners to discuss topical issues at the heart of politics, society and the economy in Wales. Challenging assumptions and offering fresh thinking, the sessions support informed policymaking through constructive and engaging debate.
This event has been kindly supported by Eversheds-Sutherland
Tickets for this event are free, but limited.
