Privacy in Community Housing is a practical, scenario‑based course designed specifically for kaimahi (staff) working in Aotearoa’s community housing sector.
Different from a typical Privacy Act training course, this course explores how privacy principles apply in real‑world community housing work—where decisions affect the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of tenants and their whānau.
Through interactive activities and realistic examples, learners deepen their understanding of how to collect, store, use, and share tenant information safely and lawfully.
The course highlights the responsibilities that kaimahi hold as trusted custodians of sensitive personal information, and it equips them with the tools to make confident, ethical decisions every day.
By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Apply privacy principles in practice
- Collect only what is necessary
- Store and use information safely
- Use consent effectively and respectfully
- Respond appropriately to information requests
- Navigate information‑sharing laws confidently
- Handle health information with care
- Identify and respond to privacy breaches
- Make safe, ethical, well‑reasoned decisions
