In October 2024, the Data Use & Access Bill (DUAB) was introduced to Parliament, proposing changes to data protection rules in the UK.
But what is the impact of the Bill, and what will it mean for you – the practitioners responsible for compliance in day-to-day business?
Join us for a practitioner-focused discussion with Data Protection Officer Dom Newton from The DPO Centre, where we’ll cut through the legal jargon and explore the real-world impact of the Bill on data protection professionals.
Key topics we’ll cover:
Dom Newton is a CIPP/E and CIPM accredited Data Protection Officer (DPO) with over a decade’s experience in the field. He has worked across the Finance, Information Technology, Education, and Charity sectors, helping organisations understand privacy risks and aligning data protection practices with business needs.

We focus on four things:
In this episode, Jacob Høedt Larsen, talks to Claire Archibald about:
Claire's Background: Claire Archibald, a legal director at Browne Jacobson, specializes in data protection and information governance in education, with a strong passion for children’s and staff privacy in schools.
Path into Data Protection: Claire’s career began in regulatory law, notably environmental law, which had parallels with data protection, especially regarding compliance and regulatory pressures. Her diverse experiences, including mediation and working in education, naturally led her into data protection.
Challenges in Data Protection for Education: Claire highlights that many schools in the UK lack proactive privacy programs, often reacting to data breaches without thorough root-cause analysis or strategic planning.
Safeguarding and Privacy: She stresses that privacy and safeguarding are not mutually exclusive; instead, strong data protection measures can support safeguarding efforts within schools.
Role of DPIAs: Claire is a strong advocate for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) as a valuable tool for schools to understand the "why" behind their data processing activities, which helps mitigate risks and improve decision-making around digital tools.
Vendor Influence and Digital Strategy: Schools often rely on EdTech vendors' sales pitches without sufficient critical analysis. This has led to a lack of strategic oversight, with schools frequently adopting new technologies without clear justifications or understanding of their impacts.
Operational and Strategic Gaps: Schools often struggle with operational confidence in data protection, and trustees, who may lack time or resources, aren’t fully aware of strategic risks, resulting in a reactive rather than proactive approach to data protection.
Personal Stories and the Importance of Privacy: Claire shares experiences showing the real-life impact of privacy issues, particularly on vulnerable groups like children and individuals with specific needs, emphasizing the nuanced harms that can arise from data misuse.
Future Concerns in Data Protection: Claire is concerned about the accumulation of unnecessary data (“haystacks”), as this approach complicates data management, increases potential harm, and has environmental costs.
Children’s Technology Use and Privacy: She highlights society’s cognitive dissonance around children’s use of technology—on one hand, technology is encouraged for educational use, while on the other, it poses risks to children's mental health and data privacy through tracking and recommender systems.

The five trends of Sustainable Compliance are:
Trend # 1 From centralized authority to company-wide collaboration
Trend # 2 From tick-the-box compliance to balanced decision-making
Trend # 3 From problem-oriented to solution-oriented
Trend # 4 From legal thinking to strategic involvement
Trend # 5 From managing data subject to caring about people
Lack of collaboration with your organisation is detrimental to your privacy and infosec programme.
If you’re unable to create a climate of collaboration within your organisation, you will be less effective as a compliance pro AND data protection and information security will suffer.
The solution: Officers and Operators.
This is what we discuss in this episode of Sustainable Compliance Live, a weekly online show from Wired Relation where we discuss sustainable compliance.

In this live episode of Sustainable Compliance we take a look back on how the compliance landscape has changed over the years and gather the trends that we see in this space now.
Jacob Hoedt Larsen starts by taking us back to the days when he worked in a candy factory that was implementing some of the first IT systems through the times of mass adoption of systems to now. We will see how the role of the compliance function has changed over time to become involved in much more that just the legal aspect.

DPIA spells collaboration
In this episode, they dive into the topic of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and the importance of collaboration in ensuring privacy-friendly practices.
In this podcast you will learn about:
Jakob tells the story of Jennifer, who finds herself in a challenging situation involving a project and the need for a DPIA. The host, Benjamin, and Privacy evangelist, Jacob, discuss the misconceptions surrounding DPIAs and the typical scenarios that lead to their implementation.
The podcast delves into the consequences of asking compliance professionals to justify decisions that have already been made, rather than focusing on privacy-friendly practices from the start. They explore the concept of siloed compliance functions and how it affects organizations' overall data protection efforts.
To address these issues, Benjamin and Jakob propose a shift towards company-wide collaboration, emphasizing the importance of involving privacy professionals early in the project lifecycle. They discuss the ideal meeting scenarios and ways privacy professionals can contribute to the process.
