A change in government legislation regarding data protection called The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be in place from 25th May 2018.  The NCU is currently working through its own processes to ensure the Union complies with this new legislation.

The Union has also drafted some guidance to support clubs through the change process.  The guidance included in the attachments below is aimed at assisting NCU affiliated clubs with identifying the key areas that they should be addressing as a result of the additional requirements arising from the upcoming introduction of GDPR.

1. GDPR Advice and guidance information for clubs
2. Club Privacy Statement Template
3. Template Membership Form for clubs

The Union intends to host a mini-workshop for clubs to guide you through this process and further details of this will be circulated in due course.  The Sport & Recreation Alliance has also developed a very useful guidance tool on its website and further information specifically for clubs can be found by clicking the following link –

Please ensure you pass this information and its information on to the relevant personnel within your club committee. Compliance with this legislation is a legal requirement for all sporting organisations.
