New sessions launched on Information Governance elearning

New sessions have been added to the existing Information Governance elearning programme to support frontline staff working in health or social care who need to share confidential information as part of their jobs. 

The following sessions are available on the elearning for healthcare (elfh) Hub and will soon also be on ESR: 

• Becoming an information asset owner: This session guides new Information Asset Owners (IAOs) on how to get started in the role. It explores information assets and information risk, the importance of managing information assets and registers appropriately, the responsibilities of the IAO, and their relationship to other roles relating to information assets. 

• Managing subject access requests: This session is for staff members managing subject access requests (SARs) or providing information for SARs. It explores what is meant by a SAR and individuals’ legal rights regarding SARs. It provides a process for managing standard SARs and works through some special scenarios involving SARs.
