Empowering Leaders in Privacy and
Information Governance.
About The Privacy Centre
The Privacy Centre was established to make expertise in data protection, information governance, cybersecurity and AI governance accessible, practical and actionable for organisations and professionals alike.
Led by Tania Palmariellodiviney, an award winner and key note speaker, we go beyond advice — offering structured training, mentorship, and a collaborative network in which professionals can learn, share and grow together.
Inspired by the work and values of Barry Moult, who continues to be a trusted advisor, our mission is to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. We empower leaders in data protection, information governance, cybersecurity, and AI governance with the confidence, clarity, and tools they need to make sound decisions in these critical roles.
By focusing on these niche but essential areas, The Privacy Centre has become a hub for learning, collaboration, and practical solutions. We bring together resources, training, and mentorship tailored to the unique challenges faced in today’s rapidly evolving privacy and governance landscape.
Our style is friendly, pragmatic, and down-to-earth. We believe the best learning happens when it feels real, engaging, and free of unnecessary jargon. Whether you’re starting out, looking to build confidence, or aiming to strengthen your governance practices, The Privacy Centre is here to support you every step of the way.
What We Offer
Expert Guidance & Resource
Beyond training, we provide continuous support and resources for our members. Our team of experienced Information Governance specialists is on hand to answer questions and guide SIROs through challenges ranging from data protection and cybersecurity to FOI and records management.
Members also gain access to regularly updated templates, checklists and policy guides that make compliance work more straightforward.
By working in partnership with respected consultants such as Barry Moult, we bring together a wide base of expertise with a shared vision, helping organisations stay compliant with privacy and security standards while focusing on their core mission.
SIRO Network & Community
The Privacy Centre provides a professional network for SIROs to connect, share experiences and learn from each other.
Through events, forums and peer to peer discussions, we create a supportive community where senior risk owners from health, care and other sectors can explore challenges and exchange practical solutions.
This network helps to break down silos so that SIROs can draw on a collective pool of knowledge and feel supported rather than isolated when navigating the complexities of information governance.

Leadership roles such as DPO, SIRO, Information Governance Lead, Cyber Lead, and AI Governance Lead come with big responsibilities — and often, big challenges. Our mentorship programmes are designed to give you the confidence, clarity, and support you need to succeed.
