Without the use of HR & Compliance Centre, it would have cost us a lot of money in terms of needing to source legal assistance to ensure that the policies are legally binding and fully up to date.

Policy of the week

From 19 June 2026, organisations are required to provide a clear way for individuals to raise complaints about how their personal data has been handled under the UK GDPR. Our updated model Data protection policy reflects this requirement, including a revised complaints section confirming that individuals can raise concerns using a complaints form, and that complaints will be acknowledged, investigated and responded to in line with UK GDPR requirements. We have also drafted a new Form to raise data protection complaint to help organisations implement a clear and accessible route for raising data protection complaints. Use our updated template wording to review and amend your organisation’s policy to ensure that it complies with the requirement and aligns with current ICO guidance on handling data protection complaints.
