Information Governance Essentials
This course introduces the basics of how Warmer Homes London uses, shares, protects and manages data. It explains why Information Governance matters, what types of data need attention, what can go wrong, and what colleagues should do when data is involved.
Level 1: Data Without Delays
A practical follow-up for colleagues working with data, suppliers, platforms, boroughs, delivery partners or project documentation. This level will help teams understand when to update a Privacy Impact Assessment, when Data Mapping is needed, and when a Data Protection Impact Assessment or Data Sharing Agreement may be required.
Level 2: Keeping Data Safe in Live Projects
A refresher for current workers on live projects, project changes, suppliers, data sharing, incidents, personal data breaches and ongoing Information Governance responsibilities. This level will help colleagues keep governance current as projects grow, change or move into wider rollout.
Training that supports WHL's compliance position
The Information Commissioner's Office is the UK data protection regulator.
The regulator expects organisations to provide induction and refresher training for staff who handle personal information. This includes training on data sharing, information security, personal data breaches and records management.
This training supports WHL's compliance position by helping colleagues understand how to handle data safely, recognise incidents and personal data breaches, report concerns quickly, and apply the right Information Governance route.
Insufficient or out-of-date training can increase the risk of a personal data breach and may breach UK GDPR Articles 5(1)(f) and 32.
Training staff to recognise and escalate personal data breaches also supports the organisation's ability to meet breach-handling duties under UK GDPR Articles 33 and 34.
This training is not a legal lecture.
It helps WHL colleagues recognise when data needs attention, when to involve Information Governance, and how to keep data use proportionate, safe and compliant across the programme.
Information Governance is not here to slow delivery down. It helps colleagues spot issues early, protect information, avoid repeated work, reduce delays, and use data in a way that residents, boroughs, suppliers, partners and regulators can trust.
