The cost of non-compliance will be high, with those found to be falling foul of the regulation being fined up to 4% of turnover.
To support members in preparation for the new rule change, the BVRLA has hosted a GDPR Seminar and provided additional resources including YouTube videos and a module on its new e-learning platform. The association has also written an article to help increase awareness of the pending rule change: The BVRLA on Preparing for GDPR. Members can copy and re-use this to support awareness raising across their own organisations.
The association has now introduced eight half-day workshops, tailored specifically for members in the daily rental and leasing broker sectors.
The workshops will highlight key changes and provide tips on completing a data audit and achieving compliance quickly.
To secure a place at one of the workshops contact BVRLA Learning & Development Professional, Duncan McMillan.
