About this Event
About This Event
STAIRs have been one of the biggest talking points in the housing sector over the last few months. With so many organisations posting content, hosting webinars, and creating new products, it has become hard to separate noise from reliable information. When the ICO publishes something you can trust it, but beyond that there has been no single clear source of truth.
At Data Protection People, we did not want to rush out products or profit from uncertainty. Instead, we have spent time listening to the sector and preparing to bring you the most accurate and helpful guidance possible.
The Next Step: Preparing for STAIRs is our second in person Leeds event for the housing sector. It is designed to help housing professionals understand what STAIRs really mean and how to prepare with confidence.
Why We Are Hosting This Event
Between now and February we will be:
- analysing guidance and updates as they emerge
- speaking with our housing clients, frontline teams, and sector partners
- identifying the key questions organisations are asking
- gathering insight from experts inside and outside the DPP community
Our goal is simple. We want to bring you clear answers, practical guidance, and calm confidence at a time when many feel overwhelmed by conflicting information.
What to Expect on the Day
This event will feature two focused talks followed by a panel Q and A with specialists from Data Protection People and a guest expert from the housing sector. Everything will be delivered in a simple, practical style that mirrors our Data Protection Made Easy approach.
