Successful participants will be:
• Recognised as competent in the area of data ethics and the practical steps required to help organisations minimise potential harms that come from data collection, use and sharing.
• Able to think critically about data ethics.
• Ready to apply tools and techniques to analyse the current situation within organisations.
• Equipped to suggest potential actions to minimise risk – be it through process adoption as guided by tools such as the data ethics canvas, or changes to the way the data itself is collected, used, or shared.
