Subject: Re: [data-protection] Do ALMOs need to Notify?
We have both a Housing ALMO and a trust who run our libraries and
leisure
department. They're legally separate organisations, so both have a
notification. Given the Commissioner's occasional reluctance to give
definitive answers about who should and who shouldn't notify (and who
should
have a publication scheme for that matter), it's probably not a
disproportionate effort to knock one out. It might be erring on the side
of
caution, but it's more sensible to put one in place now than have
explain to
an auditor or awkward correspondent
You can see many fine examples of ALMO notifications (including the
Wigan
Housing one) if you search the register.
