Access and Privacy Training Course for Saskatchewan Local Authorities
The Access and Privacy Course for Saskatchewan Local Authorities is an on-line training course. It will give employees in local authorities a better understanding of the laws that apply to access to records and to protection of personal information and personal health information, along with steps to ensure better compliance with those laws. The course is designed for employees in all local authorities including rural and urban municipal governments, school boards, post-secondary institutions, regional health authorities and other organizations identified in legislation as being a local authority. Employees of all local authorities will learn about:
- how privacy is important to us all;
- the laws that apply to local authorities;
- the obligations of employees, along with simple steps we can to protect the records we handle; and
- the rights and individuals to access records in the custody or control of a local authority in Saskatchewan.
