Data Protection for Psychologists in 2024 with Clare Veal

Welcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. Today we're joined by Clare Veal, a commercial lawyer from Aubergine Legal. Lots of you listening will already be familiar with Clare, as she is the legal eagle behind our legal templates, which are bringing peace of mind to hundreds of mental health professionals right this second. She also teaches in my Start and Grow course, giving our students a really solid understanding of what we need to do and why we need to do it, to protect ourselves and our clients in our independent work. But today we have Clare on this podcast because I think it's really important that everyone that's seeing clients independently has a good grasp of data protection and specifically how it applies to us. I find that once you understand that, then things like contracts and policies that we need to create, or that we've created for you in the legal pack if you have that, they just don't seem so scary anymore.
