How to use the DPUP toolkit

You can use these tools for a range of different activities. They’re a good way to start using the Data Protection and Use Policy (DPUP) directly in your work.

What the toolkit offers

The toolkit is a good starting point for using DPUP in your agency and applying its advice to your work. Depending on your role, you will not need to use all its resources.

The toolkit’s resources describe:

  • general summaries about aspects of DPUP, such as the Principles and Guidelines
  • good practice across the range of activities you normally come across in your role
  • task-specific advice, such as understanding consent forms.

All items in the toolkit are brief, often no longer than 2 pages. They can be downloaded, are available in a variety of formats, including HTML, and most can be edited.

The toolkit contains:

  • forms
  • checklists
  • summaries
  • a quiz
  • workshop instructions
  • case studies
  • videos.

Use the resources

These sections describe how the toolkit is organised. They provide links for people to use in ways that make the most sense to them and their agency's work.
