The Compliance Clinic

Expert data protection guidance, every week — without the consultant price tag.

A weekly online drop-in session where small business owners get straight answers to their data protection questions — for less than the cost of one hour's consultancy.

Running a small business means wearing every hat. Data protection is one of those things you know you need to get right — but it can feel complicated, expensive, and hard to keep on top of on your own.

The Compliance Clinic changes that.

Each week, you get direct access to a qualified data protection expert in a friendly group session. Bring your questions, talk through challenges, and leave with clear, practical answers. No jargon. No judgement. Just straightforward guidance that helps you move forward with confidence.

Is this for you?

The Compliance Clinic is designed for business owners who want expert guidance without the expert price tag. It works particularly well if you are:

  • Small businesses and sole traders who need to stay compliant without a full-time expert on staff

  • Solo professionals — consultants, coaches, therapists, accountants and other practitioners handling personal data

  • Small charities and Community Interest Companies navigating GDPR on a tight budget

  • Membership organisations wanting to keep members informed and compliant

  • Anyone who has inherited a compliance headache and is not sure where to start

  • Business owners who want to feel confident — not just hope for the best

  • International businesses with UK customers who need ongoing support to meet UK data protection requirements

If you have ever Googled a GDPR question at 10pm and ended up more confused than when you started, this is for you.
