Introduction to Data Ethics and the Data Ethics Canvas

This course is introductory and jargon-free. It is intended for anyone working in public, private and third-sector organisations who wants to become familiar with data ethics and start to bring it into their organisation.

The course will be attended by people from multiple organisations. We recognise that people may not want to discuss some of their current ethical issues in front of other organisations, therefore this workshop uses real-world examples to bring the topic to life.

No previous knowledge of data is required. An understanding of how data is used in your organisation will help you apply what you learn and take practical action.

In the three-hour course you will cover:

• An introduction to the concept of data ethics.
• How ethics is addressed in other domains.
• How data ethics can be applied to help organisations avoid harmful impacts.
• How to increase trust in new products and services.

Each course is limited to 16 participants, to ensure they are interactive, and that you get the support you need.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Define the difference between morals, ethics and law
• Explain why data ethics applies to more than just the use of data
• Apply the data ethics canvas to evaluate projects involving data
• Make a number of recommendations to improve the ethical handling of data
