From bribery to data protection…
A slightly unusual one this. As part of the University of Nottingham’s response to yet more regulation and changing legislative demands on us we decided to supplement more traditional means of advising staff with a series of video podcasts. The “podbriefings” have been produced by our in-house and external lawyers, together with the University’s video production team and cover the following topics:
- Bribery
- Corporate Manslaughter
- Data Protection
- The Equality Act 2010 and Staff
- The Equality Act 2010 and Students
There are professional actors involved in this plus a few cameos from Nottingham staff (who are probably not going to win any Oscars for their performances). Most importantly though each video includes a contribution from an expert lawyer who is able to provide the current legal context.
The videos have been tailored to include issues which many staff will encounter in some way in their roles at the University, and last for around 12-13 minutes each.
You can get to all of the podbriefings and plenty of other stuff too via the University of Nottingham’s iTunesU page.
I think it’s a really good way to spread some far from straightforward messages within a University. Full credit to Kate Gallagher, Director of Legal Services at the University of Nottingham, our video team and the lawyers who gave their time and insights to the project. And for those old enough to remember daytime TV from the 1970s, it really is much better than Crown Court.
