Understanding Privacy Legislation
Many people, who deliver frontline services, social workers, police, loss prevention professionals, healthcare practitioners, and educators etc., are often required to work together and sometimes have a critical need to share information with one another in a timely manner. There is a prevailing feeling among these professionals however that current privacy legislation prevents them from sharing the information they require to do their jobs. In an effort to provide people working in those sectors with the tools they need to effectively practice the work they do, the Government of Alberta has developed Understanding Privacy Legislation training. The training is delivered in a one day, 6 hour session (not including an hour lunch break). There is no charge to a work area that sends staff to the training. There are training sessions scheduled on a regular basis across the province. For professionals that require continued competency credits yearly in order to demonstrate they are remaining current this may be the type of training you are looking for. You can find out more about the training by clicking on the link provided or you can contact the Training Coordinator, directly at (780) 644-1629.
