Just had a very interesting phone call from someone who wants to have a copy of their social services file without any redactions being made, as per the new legislation that was discussed on The One Show last Friday, which apparently said that if the file is over 30 years old you are not supposed to redact third party information, and the Subject is entitles to their complete, unredacted file!
I phoned the ICO who is not aware of any changes to legislation, but they are going to look into it and get back to me.
Did anyone catch the show/know about this new legislation? Unfortunately I can't access BBC IPlayer at work but would like to know what they were discussing.
Many thanks,
