I quite agree with you Ian - I got my Certificate in 2001 although I have gone to seminars but they are very few and far between and in light of public secor cuts I doubt if I will be attending many more. In view of fines, privacy impact assessments etc. - something like that would be useful.

Subject: DP Training.
Reading the Wilful blindness cases is certainly useful in identifying
some arguments supportive of sufficient foresight to open the door,
perhaps rather too cleverly, for regular DP training.
So a couple of
quick enquiries allowing me to catch up on recent developments:-
Many
years ago I had expected some type of professional update training
requirement to follow on from the DP Certificate, in a similar way that
solicitors accumulate professional accreditation points, but cannot
recall ever having seen mention of such a thing yet. (I do not mean
utilising the sector specific user groups here, although that should
probably form part of any mix.) Have I missed this, or has nothing yet
been done?
Has a survey of any type been conducted within the U.K. (Or
any other EU member state) of how frequently DP professionals undertake
update training?
I am aware that professional ‘Privacy’ practitioner
professional bodies have been formed at the international level, and
some national levels. Is there any equivalent within the U.K. DP area
yet? (I do not mean the DP Forum - which the last I heard seemed to
have an intention to derive its membership only from the private
sector, or its public sector equivalent, (With both stances appearing
more as interest lobbying positions rather than professional
associative learning roles) I am meaning a national professional
association.)
