[35570/19]
View answerThe following table sets out the various providers that have been utilised by my Department to deliver advice and training in the context of GDPR preparedness and ongoing upskilling of staff, along with associated costs.
In 2018 my Department undertook a competitive procurement process to engage a supplier to provide a range of GDPR training for Department staff across all grades. Following the procurement process Public Affairs Ireland were engaged.
All staff were invited to participate in GDPR awareness sessions in 2018. This training was then followed with a more in-depth GDPR training course for the Department's Data Protection Liaison Officers, and for those staff who required a more in-depth knowledge of GDPR. A briefing session for the Management Board was also provided.
