Adapt and diversify to attract visitors to Norfolk
There’s no doubt that the impact of coronavirus is proving extremely challenging for anyone involved in tourism.
The EXPERIENCE project team is inviting you to its first webinar to help you find ways you can adapt to the changing situation and prepare to welcome visitors back when it is safe to do so.
This might be by diversifying, extending the visitor season by offering new high-quality experiences, making your business more sustainable or focussing on being more accessible for people with additional physical or sensory requirements.
Register by midday on Friday, November 20.
This webinar will offer tips and let you know how you could benefit from being involved in the EXPERIENCE project:
How diversification and adaptation could help your recovery plan
Hear about a business that has already adapted to 2020 circumstances
What is experiential tourism? How to tap into it successfully in the off-season (October-March)
New target markets e.g. wellness
The value of sustainability
How making your business more accessible will attract a larger market
You’ll also be invited to:
Tell us how EXPERIENCE can support you with free training or tools to help you adapt to the impact of coronavirus
Sign up to our sustainable tourism networks which offer free training and events, and where you can collaborate with/learn from other organisations involved in tourism.
EXPERIENCE is a €23m project aimed at attracting visitors in the off-peak season, through a new ‘experiential tourism’ approach. See our leaflet attached or visit www.tourismexperience.org.
We will support local organisations to develop unique autumn and winter activities and experiences through training and networking. Our goal is to draw in tourists between October and March (2021/22 and 2022/23) to six areas across England and France, including Norfolk.
We’re looking for a variety of organisations in Norfolk to participate and benefit from what we can offer.
Spaces are strictly limited so register soon! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email us.
If you store and/or process personal data and do not know where to start with GDPR compliance should be looking to attend this event. We will provide a brief overview of the GDPR for SME businesses. This is a great opportunity to get your GDPR compliance journey up and running. For example did you know:-
that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that comes into force on the 25th May 2018?
that this will apply to over 99% of businesses and charities in the UK?
how this applies to you and your business?
what you should and shouldn’t be doing regarding peoples data and it’s storage?
If the answer is no to the above, then our half day workshop will be ideal to get up to speed with the key facts and issues. We can help take out the dread and help you get your head around the basics. At our event you will find out what you need to do if you have employees or you collect any information on customers including, name, address, email, phone number. Being aware and taking sensible precautions now can help reduce the fear of fines substantial fines in the future.
Joe Cooksey, Digital Engagement Manager for Barclays, in this half day event will:
Guide you through the GDPR key points
Discuss how you can use your data and ensure you adhere to the rules
Cyber Security you should consider and be aware of.
What is GDPR and why do we need to comply?
The GDPR has been designed to enable Data Protection to keep up with the ever changing digital landscape we do business in. It is more extensive in scope and application than the current Data Protection Act (DPA). The Regulation extends the data rights of individuals, and requires organisations to develop clear policies and procedures to protect personal data, and adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures.
The European Union (EU)’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will impose greater regulatory control over EU residents’ personal data and force all global organizations to significantly change the way they handle that data. The GDPR will apply in the UK from 25 May 2018. The government has confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not affect the commencement of the GDPR. UK organisations that process the personal data of EU residents have only a short time to ensure that they are compliant.
How will GDPR impact my business?
This will affect organisations of any size that collect and/or process personal data of EU citizens, this can include names, phone numbers, addresses, IP Addresses, ethnicity, health data to give some examples. GDPR enables individuals to have control over their own personal data. This has been processed further to the large numbers and increases to data breaches in businesses and organisations.
One of the main changes in the GDPR that organisations must consider across their operations is that the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR rests with the company providing services to the end user ‘the data subject’. Examples of the considerations a business will need to consider under the new GDPR include:
They correctly handle employee and HR data
Data is collected via the website, sales and CRMs are stored, handled and processed in a compliant manner
That security systems and controls are documented and suitable and proportional
Processes are in place if a breach occurs
Ability to effect the ‘right to be forgotten’.

This 3-hour digital event is based on our popular face to face training. It has been tailored specifically to help you support employee mental health issues during these unprecedented times. Through guidance, discussion and activities, this interactive event will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to confidently manage good employee mental health, both remotely and in the workplace.
Business need
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting all our lives and has presented extra challenges for those with existing mental health problems. According to the Mental Health Foundation, one in six employees experience mental ill health each year. The Centre for Mental Health has estimated that in the UK, at least half a million more people will experience a mental health difficulty over the next year. Research recently conducted by Bupa UK has confirmed an increase in mental health issues, with people more reluctant to seek help during the current climate. Managers may have an understanding of mental health, yet may be hesitant to address it, through fear of saying the wrong thing or making matters worse. However, early intervention is crucial in ensuring the individual can access the support they need to keep themselves at work and working well. This not only benefits the individual, but their team and the business. Delivered via Zoom, this event will outline the different mental ill health conditions and help you recognise the signs and symptoms. You will also learn how to engage effectively with employees at an early stage, have constructive conversations and gain an awareness of the range of practical support available for individuals. Following the event, delegates will receive a comprehensive manual which includes further advice and guidance.
All delegates will receive an electronic certificate of attendance for their participation in the training.
Suitable For
HR professionals, team leaders, supervisors and managers from all sectors of industry who are familiar with the basics but want a deeper understanding of mental health and how to manage it.
Programme
Our expert-led training sessions are designed to facilitate discussion and interaction. This event will cover:
What is mental health?
Common mental health conditions
Current issues for employees and recognising the signs
Managing wellbeing in different contexts
Signposting to further resources
Delegates will also have the opportunity to practice learning through scenario-based activities.
