Connect with the wider data science community to share knowledge and grow your network.
Gain professional recognition for the skills you have.
Help promote professional standards to ensure the ethical and professional use of data.

What is AfDSP?
While the skills of data scientists are increasingly in demand BCS has been working in collaboration with a number of other bodies to develop a professional framework for those working within the field.
These new industry-wide standards look to address current issues, such as data breaches, the misuse of data in modelling and bias in artificial intelligence. They can give people confidence that their data is being used ethically, stored safely and analysed robustly.
