In association with the law firm Maclay Murray & Spens LLP - http://www.mms.co.uk/.

 

Dear list user

The content of these concise events is directed at those individuals who are making strategic decisions with regard to Web 2.0.  The aim is to provide sufficient knowledge of the legal risks associated with Web 2.0 use by students and staff (including data protection risks) to enable senior managers to be able to assess whether the legal safeguards which they already have in place are sufficient to withstand the new demands of Web 2.0.
