- understand your role and how it aligns with and supports other key roles such as the Senior Information Risk Owner and Data Protection officer
- enable responsible data sharing so that data can be shared with confidence for the public good, including responding to the risk arising from a failure to share
- ensure that people within organisation know how to work within key legislation such as the Data Protection Act 2018 but remain confident in sharing information when it is appropriate to do so
- develop a positive data sharing culture within a Common Law framework, where compliant data handling becomes second nature to everyone
- ensure that everyone is aware of their personal responsibility to exercise good judgement, and to safeguard and share information appropriately
Effective Caldicott Guardian training will:

The law
The GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 requires you to provide a compliant environment to handling personal data.
Caldicott principle 6, also requires you to be compliant with the law.
However, as a Caldicott Guardian, compliance with additional legislation such as the Common Law duty of Confidentiality, safeguarding, human rights and lawful sharing with the police needs to be applied alongside data protection legislation.
