Dear List serve members
I am in the process of revising our DP procedures on handling subject access
requests. The DP legislation and guidance sets out that records are to be
disclosed in a permanent form to the data subject. However I am sure that
you have found that there are occasions when it is best to invite the data
subject in to the office so that the subject can inspect the records.
However I understand that ICO says that inspection is not allowed.
Yet at the same time access to medical records, where the new manual records
were added after the request was made, can be dealt with by inspection
And
Pupils are allowed to see or receive copies of their educational records, by
mutual agreement of school and data subject. So inspection can take place.
What do other Data Protection Officers do- do you allow inspection under
very tight guidelines or is there a ban on inspection?
