Subject: Subject access inspection of records
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?
