> JISC Data Protection Code of Practice for Further and Higher Education
>
> The 1998 Data Protection Act came into force on 1st March 2000. The higher
> and further education sectors were fully aware that this Act would have
> significant implications for their operations. In response to requests
> from
> the sector, JISC commissioned Andrew Charlesworth of the University of
> Hull
> to prepare guidelines for FE and HE.
>
> JISC is pleased to present this Code of Practice as advice for the current
> year.
> It is available as html or pdf from:
> http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub00/dp_code.html
>
> It should be noted that the guidelines are not intended to be mandatory or
> prescriptive, but are a guide to best practice in this area. Nor, of
> course, can compliance with the guidelines guarantee compliance with the
> law.
>
> We hope that these Guidelines will assist institutions in their compliance
> with the 1998 Data Protection Act.
