ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This short course, developed by the Biometrics Institute, provides a broad understanding of implementing biometric systems. It delves into the critical policy issues, key processes and risk management challenges that should always be considered and addressed during the selection, procurement and operation of any biometric system.

Grounded in the Institute’s Good Practice Framework and the Three Laws of Biometrics (Policy, Process and Technology), course modules provide the recommended sequencing and prioritisation of key decisions and actions across the biometric lifecycle.

WORKSHOP PRESENTER

Roger Baldwin, Advisory Council Member, Biometrics Institute
Roger is a former Deputy Chairman and Director of the Biometrics Institute and currently works as an Independent Consultant specialising in developing forensic science and biometric capabilities in fragile and developing countries. He was previously Head of Counter Terrorism Forensic Services with the Metropolitan Police, New Scotland Yard in London, UK. Roger was the ‘Penholder’ for the United Nations Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and Office for Counter Terrorism (OCT) Project – the ‘UN Compendium of Recommended Practices for the Responsible Use and Sharing of Biometrics in Counter Terrorism’ that was published in June 2018.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is recommended for anyone involved in the planning, development or operation of a biometric application. It is suitable for delegates who have little or no knowledge of biometric technologies as well as those who have worked with biometrics for a long time. Organisations are therefore encouraged to send a diverse group of personnel, for example, policy makers, operational and technical managers, customer service representatives, human resources, legal, privacy and data protection staff, to facilitate open, balanced and productive conversations. It will help create stronger consensus within your organisation on what good biometrics look like.

The course is highly interactive and participants will be encouraged to bring to bear their own experiences and areas of expertise during the discussion sessions.
