New module added March 25

This module starts of the self-directed course by taking you through the background and rationale for the new VIG Data Collection System. You will be shown how and why we developed the system and how we determined the measures to be included. You will have the option to read our research reports for more detail.

This module will introduce you to the system itself by giving you an overview of the web-app and allowing you to practice in a demo version of one of the data entry forms. You will find some documents to get you started in your exploration of the measures that are most appropriate for your clients.

In this module, you will learn about the security of the Data Collection System and the expectations of practitioners to ensure we adhere to data protection law. You will be given the information, and signposted to the resources, that you will need to engage your information governance teams. Once you have received authorisation from your organisation/ IG representative, you are able to use the system in practice.

This short module will show you where to go for help and more information. It will also give you a guide to your next steps to get ready to use the DCS with your clients.
