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.
This webinar covered:
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 Claire Williams, Principle Associate and Alasdair Dougan, Senior Associate discussed 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’re 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.
