If you would like more in depth training for any of these specific areas please see our individual courses on these subjects.
This course is split into eight sections.
1. Cyber Security
Cyber security is part of an organisation’s information security measures.
It includes anything you do or use in your organisation to protect your computers, networks, devices, programmes and data from attack, damage and unauthorised access.
Anyone who uses a computer or similar device during their working day needs to be aware of how easy it is for criminals to cause harm and disruption, or steal information.
This section covers simple steps that will make it harder for criminals to gain access, to include Malware, Emails, Passwords and online security, which will help you safeguard your system and the information you use.
2. UK GDPR
The most important data to protect is personal data – that’s data about people and it’s a legal requirement that you keep personal data safe and use it properly.
This section covers the Principles of Data Protection (UK GDPR), The Rights of the Individual and Data Breaches.
3. Anti-Bribery
This section looks at what bribery is and at how you, and your organisation, can be affected by it and what can be done to prevent it.
It includes a real life scenario for you to decide if bribery is taking place or not to aid your understanding of what bribery is.
In business there is a normal level of hospitality and giving of gifts is usually perfectly acceptable, but there’s a fine line between what’s acceptable and what’s not. This section covers Bribes, Gifts and Hospitality to help you to understand when it is appropriate to give a gift and when it might be considered a bribe.
4. Anti-Money Laundering
Whether or not you work in an organisation that’s regulated by anti-money laundering regulations and laws, it’s important that you know about money laundering, because, even if it doesn’t apply to your organisation, your Clients or Suppliers may be bound by these regulations.
Anyone working in an organisation that is regulated by anti-money laundering laws has two main responsibilities.
- To check and verify that customers are who they say they are - due diligence
- To report any criminal or suspicious activity
This section explains exactly what money laundering is and looks in detail at the two main responsibilities listed above.
5. Fraud
This section explains exactly what fraud is and the fraud triangle and gives a real life scenario for you to decide whether fraud is taking place or not to aid your understanding of the definition of fraud.
6. Modern Slavery
This section explains exactly what modern slavery is and the common signs to look out for to know if modern slavery is taking place and what to do about it.
7. Whistleblowing
This section explains all about whistleblowing to include what it is, the six specific areas of the whistleblowing law and the importance of whistleblowing. There is also a real life scenario for you to decide whether the person was right to blow the whistle or not to help aid your understanding of the definition of whistleblowing.
8. Environmental Awareness
Since businesses produce 6 tonnes of waste for every 1 tonne we produce at home - managing waste responsibly is an important responsibility for organisations.
Your workplace is responsible for how its waste is created, all the way through to how it’s stored and disposed of.
The goal of many businesses is simple - zero waste to landfill.
This section covers the waste hierarchy which consists of five steps to follow; Prevent, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Dispose.
The Waste Hierarchy is not only good practice - it helps you comply with the Duty of Care legislation and it can be very cost effective for your organisation.
