German term or phrase: Belehrung
Suche passende engl. Überschrift für ein "offizielles" Belehrungsschreiben (ist ein Anhang zu einem Personalbogen, der bei der Einstellung auszufüllen ist), in dem der neue Mitarbeiter über einige Punkte des Datenschutzes informiert wird und dies abschließend durch seine Unterschrift bestätigt. Es geht um neue Mitarbeiter eines Uniklinikums, d. h. öffentlicher Dienst. Überschrift des Schreibens ist einfach "Belehrung" und meine bisherige Übersetzung ist "Letter of Instruction". Was sagen die Muttersprachler dazu?

Außerdem: Das Schreiben endet mit zwei Unterschriftsfeldern, die mit "Unterschrift Belehrter" bzw. "U. Belehrender" beschriftet sind. Wie gebe ich das passend auf Engl. wieder? Bisherige Lösung: "Signature of person advised" und "S. o. p. advising". Elegantere Lösungen?

Vielen Dank!

Briefing


Explanation:
Just throwing this into the mix. I know it's used in the military (I come from an Air Force family) and according to Leo it's used in the medical field as well - although in this sense it might just mean a "medical briefing" when instructing a colleague on a certain treatment.

Data Privacy (Instructions)


Explanation:
OK, I would tackle it this way:
I would make the title "Data Privacy (Instructions)"
Unterschrift Belehrender: simply "For XYZ", XYZ being the name of the corporation.
Belehrter: simply "Employee."
Obviously, this is VERY context-specific and in a different context I would do things a little differently.

consent form


Explanation:
in the US. It talks about the terms and conditions, associated risks, parties being held harmless etc. E.g., before you go into surgery, you sign a consent form where they inform you of all the things involved and you accept with your signature potential, unforeseen complications or outcomes.

disagree  Kim Metzger: How does "consent" enter into the picture? The person is being informed.
