Survey Research and Data Privacy - SRA Training

7/7/09
The UK Data Protection Act (1998) changed the rules of the game for those researchers reliant on personal data.
Since this act became law, further regulations on Privacy and Electronic Communication were introduced that pose fresh challenges for some research methodologies. Finally, the Freedom of Information Act (2005) creates other issues for those commissioning or conducting research in the public sector to consider. However despite all this new legislation, issues to do with data privacy constantly make the headlines, and as a response the powers of the Information Commissioner are being steadily increased
The SRA and the Market Research Society collaborated on producing a set of guidelines aimed at helping social researchers have a clearer view of the situation.
This half day workshop will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn more about the legislation and the impact on social research.
