Meet all of your GDPR legal requirements with this certification.

Recognised by the Bar Standards Board in their 2020 Regulatory Return, our GDPR Certification for Barristers is a comprehensive framework that combines compliance tools, online training and live, continued support from our in-house barrister team. The certification meets all technical and organisational security requirements, as required under GDPR legislation.

Self-employed barristers are required to take responsibility for the GDPR compliance of their business. 

Evidence of this is required by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the event that a barrister has reported a data breach, or if a compliant is made about them to the ICO by a client or vexatious litigant in person.

A common misconception is that chambers are responsible for barristers' GDPR compliance, when in fact, legal responsibility sits with each individual barrister.

Our certification is the only training and compliance framework developed specifically for barristers. It has been designed with the realities of the Bar in mind.

Course Modules

Our GDPR Training for Barristers has been designed to help barristers understand exactly what they need to do to comply with the legislation as a self-employed business owner, in a practical manner that reflects the Bar.

As well as GDPR specific training, we include Cyber Security Training for Barristers.

GDPR legislation and guidance requires that each business has specific documentation in place. We provide specific templates for all mandatory policies, that each barrister can easily adapt for their own practice. We also provide additional policy templates for best practice, helping barristers create a robust framework and evidence their investment in meeting GDPR requirements.

Enables barristers to answer key audit questions, pertinent to their practice, and identify if they have compliance gaps that need rectified across technology, policies, and IT security measures that the ICO would expect to be in place.

Our in-house barristers are on hand to provide immediate advice on what to do in the event that you suffer a data breach.

On completing the GDPR Certification, you will be listed in our Directory of GDPR Certified Barristers, used by clerks and chambers to evidence an expert level of compliance to clients and used in public sector tenders.
