School is in Session
Are you:
- New to the access and privacy field?
- Working in access and privacy but looking for additional training?
- Completing access and privacy tasks such as access to information requests or complaints into alleged breaches of privacy as a “side of the desk” job but have no real experience in it?
Navigating the access and privacy world can be challenging, particularly when there is a lack of training and educational resources provided, or you don’t know where to turn when you have questions. That’s why, with your help, we hope to continue to develop our education page on our website with a list of training resources that can help you gain a better understanding of the access to information and privacy breach complaint process.
In order to get this started, our office sent out a mass email to various organizations to collaborate on this education initiative. The response was extremely positive with some organizations offering links to their own access and privacy training modules or training they found to be particularly useful for their own organization. Even though there were several organizations that did not have anything to contribute, many of them were really excited about the prospect of coming back and accessing the list in the future. This just goes to show how valuable something like this is.
It is our hope that providing a list of additional training will assist those in the access and privacy field and help them better understand their obligations under The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP), The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LA FOIP) and The Health Information Protection Act (HIPA).
To review the list of training and education material, please see our education page here. The information is posted under the heading External Educational Resources.
Please note that the Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner does not endorse any of the training listed on our website but rather aims at providing helpful solutions to those looking for additional training. If you know of any training that may be helpful for those working in this field, please feel free to email webmaster@oipc.sk.ca and we will review your submission for publication on our website.
