Communities 1st can provide training for your staff and trustees. All sessions are delivered by qualified trainers with extensive experience.
Training can be delivered as part of the Training Calendar – or as tailored sessions (bespoke training) designed specifically to meet the needs of your staff and/or trustees.
Bespoke Training
Bespoke training sessions can be delivered at your premises or a convenient local venue, and can be delivered in around 3 hours.
If you have at least 6 people who require training, give us a call and we can work with you to meet your needs.

Training Topics
These are just some of the training topics we can offer.
GDPR Training Workshops
The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK's implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
More than four years have now passed since its introduction so you will be aware of the changes to requirements on data protection, and no doubt you will have changed your internal processes to comply with these regulations.
However, we understand how difficult it can be to focus on implementing a whole new set of procedures when you’ve got to cope with the day-to-day pressures of delivering your charity’s services.
It can be difficult to know if the changes you’ve made are enough to meet the new GDPR regulations.
GDPR workshops will:
- Provide a re-cap on the new GDPR requirements
- Highlight the key areas charities need to be sure they’ve covered
- Give members the chance to evaluate the changes they’ve already made
- Identify any changes that need to be made, and give support on how to implement them
Charities are expected to meet their GDPR obligations by the regulatory body (ICO), so it’s essential to know you’ve made the changes you need to.
To find out more, or to book your charity’s place on the training workshops, contact Rob Varney at robert.varney@communities1st.org.uk or on 01727 649940.
