In-house in Focus: Investigations and personal data - what you need to know

Investigations play a vital role in identifying and resolving issues across a wide range of subject areas. When approached effectively, they can be a powerful tool to establish facts, guide proportionate action and build trust. However, they are not without risk. Poorly planned or executed investigations can unintentionally exacerbate underlying issues – or even expose organisations to greater liability. 

A key component in most investigations is people – their actions, opinions, intentions and communications - meaning that data protection law will always be relevant. 

Join us for this in-house in Focus webinar, where we’ll cover:

• The potential risks from a data protection perspective of undertaking investigations
• The key decisions to navigate data protection risks when planning an effective investigation
• The data protection documentation that should be put into place to implement a lawful and effective investigation process. 

Our data protection experts will discuss these themes from the perspective of investigations  generally, rather in the specific context of a particular type of investigation (e.g. an employment investigation). 

Whether you are involved in managing, conducting or overseeing investigations, this session will offer valuable insight to support informed decision-making on data protection matters within an investigation.
