Privacy Awareness Week 2023 (1 – 7 May)

Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is an annual event raising awareness within the public sector and the broader community about the importance of protecting and respecting personal information.

This year PAW will be held from 1-7 May 2023 and the theme is ‘Privacy 101: Back to Basics’. It’s a great reminder that every day we can do essential things to protect our privacy, and the privacy of others.

During PAW it’s the perfect time for a refresher, so we’re going back to basics and sharing helpful tips on how to protect personal information. Whether you’re in the public sector and deal with people’s information at work, or if you’re a member of the community wondering how best to keep your information safe, you’ll find a range of resources and tips below that can be used every day.

Now, more than ever, agencies and individuals need to ensure they’re getting privacy right. After recent news events, people are more aware of the impact of privacy breaches and they have high expectations that their personal information is kept safe.
