Since 1991 he has worked as an independent consultant specialising in data protection, freedom of information, information management and IT strategy, with a special interest in customer and contact management systems. Paul is also a widely-respected researcher, evaluator, trainer and author.Paul's data protection experience goes back to the mid-1980s and the 1984 Act, in his role as IT advisor for local and national information services. His involvement continued while monitoring the EU debates which eventually led to the 1995 European Directive and then the UK's 1998 Act. His knowledge of freedom of information has grown out of a close study of the Act, in theory and practice, since it came into force on 1 January 2005.Paul has written extensively on both Acts, designed and delivered training courses and conference briefings, taken part in lobbying on behalf of clients and carried out data protection audits.Paul is the author of the standard work Data Protection for Voluntary Organisations, published by the Directory of Social Change and now in its third edition.
