Data Management & KIM Consultancy – using the PURPOSE Roadmap
A culmination of over 25 years of experience and expertise in quality assurance, risk management, and – of course – data management, and data protection, the PURPOSE Roadmap is our remarkable blueprint, that guides everything we do in our business as well as with our clients.
The PURPOSE Roadmap contains a comprehensive set of tools and documents that help organisations both identify and achieve their core purpose, using data in a way that builds trust and helps fulfil social purpose.
We take on a limited number of consultancy clients, and work with them side-by-side through the PURPOSE Roadmap to implement robust data management and Knowledge & Information Management (KIM) frameworks.
Strategy Workshops
Public Workshops
We run frequent practical and productive workshops for our DiSH (Data in Social Housing) Community on data management and KIM related topics, which are free for members and available for non-members to attend for a nominal fee of less then a hundred pounds. Recent workshops have been on EDI Data Strategy, and AI Use, and upcoming topics include Data Breaches, and Data Retention, with more to come.
Each workshop is 2.5 hours, held over Teams, and fully interactive.
By the end of each workshop, attendees have:
– clarity around the strategy/policy we’re covering,
– a draft strategy/policy, and
– an understanding of what questions to answer to complete it.
One landlord described the EDI Data Strategy Workshop as “so helpful in clarifying a difficult area” after they’d spent months “going round in circles” trying to decide how to approach this particular data collection.
All upcoming workshops are listed on our Events page, and you can join our mailing list to hear about them too.
Private Workshops
We also offer sessions for individual organisations, allowing all key colleagues to benefit from the knowledge-transfer and get involved in the discussions.
One-off EDI Data Clarity Workshops are our current focus, and they’re designed to clarify the legal and practical ramifications of collecting and using EDI data in social housing, cutting through the noise and confusion caused by seemingly contradictory messages coming out of the Regulator of Social Housing and the ICO, the Data Protection Regulator.
An online EDI Data Clarity Workshop includes an interactive 2.5 hour session, and all the reference materials for future use, and costs £1,250 (+VAT) or we can arrange an in-person session (with additional travel costs.) Dates can be secured with a 50% deposit. (Full payment is required at least 7 days before the workshop – see our full terms and conditions here.)
For more in-depth support, to take you all the way from Strategy to Insight to Impact, our newly-launched EDI Data Insights Accelerator, which includes 3 sessions solely for your organisation, is ideal. Read the details of the Accelerator, and how to apply, here.
Please email Clare@cpdataprotection.com or Sue@cpdataprotection.com with any queries.

What people say about CP Data Protection consultancy
“I worked with Clare whilst she put into place a comprehensive GDPR training and policy refresh for my organisation…Her presentations and policy work are excellent quality and she brings a warm and professional manner to all her work. Clare is generous with her time and knowledge and is a pleasure to work with – I highly recommend her.”
“CP Data Protection was highly recommended to us for data protection consultation and we were delighted with the service provided… [to] help us update our Terms and Conditions, making sure they’re fully GDPR compliant as well as being easy to understand and relevant to our users.”
“It was interesting to understand the process and how links are developed that sometimes cause more problems. Picking the bones out of things and understanding how to piece them back together effectively is a challenge, but you explained the thought process behind decisions which highlighted better outcomes.”

Buy the book on data protection in social housing
With clear advice and a pragmatic approach, this is the book that our director Clare wanted and needed when working in a large housing association on data protection. Read a free chapter here.
Described by “practical & theatrical” DP trainer & consultant Tim Turner as “a genuinely useful and practical book,” and by former Guernsey DP Commissioner Emma Martins as “enlightening reading for anyone interested/involved in data” it shows how data protection can go from being seen as a blocker, to becoming the foundation on which to achieve the housing sector’s goals. It doesn’t just lay out the law; it contains actionable advice and ideas for identifying risks and controls, and embedding data protection into the day-to-day work of social housing providers.
