Hi Chriss
Though I am ready to be contradicted, I doubt there are many HE
institutions which have so far taken this area seriously. I used to work
at Manchester University and I am sure that even the existence of the DP
officer was an obscure fact only a handful of people were in possession of.
Perhaps FE & FE/HE colleges are a different kettle of fish in this respect
(as in many others).

Please respond to
Chriss Howes
We are currently in the flow of providing awareness and training for
college staff on the DPA.
I am looking at the security aspects of the Act and would be interested to
know how other Colleges are dealing with the security of manual records.
These are held in various locations, do colleges have 'clear desk' policies
where nothing is left out unattended? Are all forms kept in locked
cabinets/drawers? Is a locked room sufficient?
Any comments would be gratefully received.
