In recent years we have seen legislation like GDPR have a significant impact on parish and town council operations. Managing and storing data has significant implications and that’s why we were pleased to partner with Breakthrough Communications to provide access at discounted rates to their ‘Compliant Councils Hub’. Equally Freedom of Information requests can absorb time and effort from officers. If you are a member of DAPTC you can now access masterclass events on both these topics, make use of this valuable resource.
In ‘Council Connect’ you will also find a number of resources that are invaluable for an increasingly technology driven parish and town council sector. We have all seen in the last year the value of virtual meeting platforms, combine this with integrated websites and social media profiles and your community can benefit from deeper levels of engagement and understanding. Take advantage of the permanently discounted rates as a DAPTC member.

The Compliant Councils Hub gives parish and town councils access to on-demand, regularly-updated data protection training, walkthrough guides, masterclasses and one-to-one support on all aspects of GDPR and Freedom of Information.

We also provide regular updates on latest legislative and policy changes, relevant judgements from the Information Commissioner (and how they might impact your council). You can also optionally access a range of live masterclass events throughout the year, and get access to the recordings afterwards.
When you need support, you can optionally get inclusive access to our GDPR and FOI experts.
