I suppose the real question is "Is there any other crime that is reported to
the card issuers in order to facilitate card cancellation?"
We do need to remember that paedophilia is the "Witchcraft" of the current
decade. There is much political capital to be made out of "Government
bashes paedophile" headlines.
I'm absolutely not arguing pro-paedo. I view paedophilia as wholly
inappropriate and reprehensible behaviour. I just see this as and example
of "sound bite politics" based upon a current fad.

Subject: Re: [data-protection] The Cost of Non-Compliance
This question arose regarding data sharing as the Government is asking
us to do. We took senior counsel's opinion and there was of course no
legal basis for doing so and Local Govt (Finance) Act would not allow us
to share the data. One of our guys pushing Customer First and
obviously wants to succeed posed the same question. Our Head of
Revenues & Benefits replied to say that we as a Council should be seen
to be acting within the law and not breaking it - can you imagine the
publicity.
As far as FoI is concerned - we didn't respond to a letter from the
Scottish Information Commissioner and they have basically told us if
this happens again we could end up in Court of Session.
Anyway David, I shall be complying - don't want to end up in Court.

Subject: The Cost of Non-Compliance
Sorry to cross-post with a Friday question but I'm hoping this will
create
some interesting replies. I have been asked the following question by a
senior member of staff in a central government area who definitely has
an
accountant's view of the world.
"What is the real risk of non-compliance in FOI, DPA or EIR? Has anybody
been fined large sums of money? Has anybody lost their jobs?"
I would be happy to consolidate responses on this. If necessary,
anonymised
responses will be welcome. I would also be grateful if anybody knows any
further avenues of research.

Subject: [data-protection] School Exam Marks - Access by Schools
Pupils/Parents
Dear All
I have been asked to look into the question below. The request is from
a
third party who is seeking advice. Whilst not obliged to do so (I act
for
the atuhority, not the enquirer), I am interested in your views re that
below. Please note I have not modified the note below save redacting

Thanks

Re: question on exam mark access by school pupils. I wonder if you might
be
able to offer any information on a very specific interpretation of the
application / remit of the Data Protection Act?
I have confirmed with the exam boards - AQA WJEC - that they are happy
for
unmoderated marks for assessed coursework for public examinations to be
released to students as soon as teachers have marked the work. They
therefore treat this very differently to access to examination marks for
formal exams, (the latter subject to a right of access exemption under
Data
Protection). This means the raw score from the teacher can be given out
for such school based work, even though it may be subject to change
before
the final issue of a formal GCSE or A Level grade by the board for
candidates in August.
I am clear that as a parent, under the Education Act, I have right of
access to data concerning my child, (with exceptions such as child
protection issues). Separately, my child has right of access to
information about themselves, (especially at 17 years old where it is
clear
they are capable of understanding the information).
The vast majority of schools do not hesitate to offer students access to
unmoderated assessed coursework marks. However, in the instance of
such
access being obstructed, does the student have their right of access to
their mark held on the school data base by virtue of the Data
Protection
Act?
Clearly, if schools are able to sustain their choice to withhold the
data,
students will face anomalies both between schools and within schools, as
to
the level to which they may benefit from such feedback information in
preparation for their formal exams. It becomes possible for students at
one school to sit an exam having benefited from adjusting their approach
because they were offered their coursework mark, whereas other
students
sitting exactly the same public exam may do so denied such benefit.
