Wasn't there a case some time ago about including administrators names on a health SAR (possibly) as it shows who has accessed the record and what for? I am, as usual, rubbish at remembering the details but this definitely rings a bell with me. Someone with better memory than me might be able to point in the right direction.

Email addresses are personal data, but they are in a work context and therefore more open to release. You need to consider whether it is 'fair' to release; what do your staff expect? Staff whose names the public know because they are front facing should be left in generally, but back office administrators removed.
We talk about junior vs senior staff and expectations in our redaction policy available on the website if that helps https://barnet.gov.uk/citizen-home/council-and-democracy/policy-and-performance/information-management-policies.html

Subject: [data-protection] Redaction of staff names
Good morning all
I am helping several health organisations with Subject Access Requests. It is local practice to redact the names of administrators from the final released documents. I haven't processed SAR's for a while and I can't find any justification for the removal of admin names.
Is there any guidance on the removal or otherwise of the names of junior staff members?
I have searched and all I can find is an oblique reference to ICO guidance in a Plymouth City Council document. This says that the names should be included. I can't find the guidance on ICO's website.
Regards
Chris
