The GDPR & new Data Protection Act - Let's start at the beginning

If you're new to the world of the GDPR and the UK's planned new 2018 Data Protection Act, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by conflicting advice, scary predictions and not knowing where to start.
To try and help we're going to start sharing snippets of advice - especially from the perspective of those responsible for delivering their organisation's customer experience - once a week. Inspired by Homeserve's Richard Merrygold, who invoked the image of an elephant to describe the GDPR at the Direct Marketing Association's Data conference in September (www.dma.org.uk/uploads/misc/59c4d6368c2e6-data-protection-2017---next-steps-agenda_59c4d6368c225.pdf), we might be able to help you tackle it one bite at a time.
So here's a great place to start; the Information Commissioner's Office's 12-step guide to Preparing for the GDPR. It's not terribly up to date and won't answer your more detailed questions, but it's easy-to-understand and provides some clear next steps.
