A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a process to help you identify and minimise the data protection risks of a new project, system or process (or changes to existing ones).
You must do a DPIA for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. This includes some specified types of processing. You can use our DPIA Screening Checklist within the DPIA template to help you decide when a Full DPIA is required.
It is also good practice to do a DPIA for any other major project which requires the processing of personal data.
The Trust's DPIA template is available here.
