I am currently completing my honours project on 'The Application of Data Protection in UK Universities', and have already received a lot of help from the list members. I am currently stuck, I want to write a chapter on codes of practice, their advantages over using the legislation. I am aware that CoP are not legally enforceable and merely offer a basis for good practice. I would be very interested to hear other peoples views on whether codes of practice are good or bad, or whether they merely complicate matters by placing the controllers in a position of confusion? Thank you. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - www.jiscmail.ac.uk/user-manual/summary-user-commands.htm all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
