OIPC training on FIPPA – TRU Newsroom
Join the free in-person training session on public bodies’ obligations under BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
For thirty years, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC has provided independent oversight of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), BC’s public sector access and privacy law that establishes an individual’s right to access records and sets out terms under which a public body can collect, use and disclose the personal information of individuals.
On February 1, 2023, amendments to FIPPA came into force requiring public bodies to develop privacy management programs and report privacy breaches that could be expected to result in serious harm.
In this three-hour session, experts from the OIPC will guide public bodies of all sizes through their obligations under FIPPA and how the new requirements affect them.
The sessions will include information on:
- Intro to OIPC and FIPPA fundamentals
- Privacy breaches
- Privacy management programs
- Privacy impact assessments
