The GC Information Governance Training is mandatory training which must be completed annually by all colleagues.

You may have completed the training previously; however, it's now due for all colleagues again and you'll have received an email from PAL to confirm that it's available to complete.

NOTE: After we launched our updated training, some colleagues reported issues accessing the module. After further investigation, we established some technical issues had occurred on the platform and we had to remove the training and re-upload the module.

You're required to complete the training by Friday 15th March.

Any colleagues who've completed the training within the last two months don't need to complete it again until the next renewal.

It's essential that colleagues understand their role in ensuring the security of our systems and therefore we need to ensure 100% of colleagues undertake this training. If you're unable to complete the training in this time, please make your line manager and Dee Beckett aware.

As well as being good practice in many areas of the business, completion of this training is a key contractual requirement and a requirement of external standards GC holds such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials.

The training is a series of short videos which will include questions and prompts along the way. The total time to complete the training is around 90 minutes, however, it can be completed in smaller sections.

When you log in to PAL, the training will be accessible in two places:

  • Under ‘Your Action Items’ on the PAL welcome screen; or
  • By clicking the My Learning icon where a list of all training that has been assigned to you is presented, along with any classroom training dates that you have booked to attend.

If you have any problems accessing the training, please email learning@growthco.uk any further queries regarding the training should be sent to Dee Beckett, Data Protection Officer.
