The question I'm wondering about is what it is they want to look at on
people's hard drives and why?
I know at the last place I worked we had been asked to transfer our email
files over to our hard drives to conserve space on the overloaded mail
server.

Dear All,
A member of staff has just received a query from one of our Service Areas.
The Directors for this Service Area would like access to all their staff's
personal hard drives. I've been asked if this breaches Human Rights. I'm
thinking it'll breach article 8 (right to a private, family life and
correspondence). My main concerns are that staff's hard drives can hold
confidential information, relating to work.
I would like to know your opinions on this. What are your current
procedures? Do you allow it? If so, have you informed your staff that
their hard drives are visable to their Superiors? And how did you get
around the Human Rights issue? Have you refused access, did you use
article 8? Or did you refuse under other circumstances?
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Julie Davenport
