Not every data protection question needs a consultant.

I'm passionate about making data protection more understandable, less intimidating and easier to manage – especially for small organisations with limited time and resources.
My resource library is continually growing, so be sure to check back regularly for new guides, templates and practical tools.
Credentials
BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection
Liz holds a recognised professional qualification in data protection, backed by hands-on experience building information governance frameworks from scratch - not generalist advice from a solicitor, accountant or IT provider treating it as an add-on.
Why You Can Trust Me
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Cover of at least £500,000 is held from launch and reviewed annually, so you can engage with confidence knowing the advice you receive is properly backed.
Committed to Ongoing Learning
Data protection law doesn't stand still - recent reforms under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 are a good example. Continuing professional development is maintained through BCS membership and close engagement with ICO guidance, so advice stays current.
