Dear All,

I have been advised that the relatives of a Social Services customer have
installed a web camera (with the service users permission)to monitor the
user in case urgent care is required.  Social services staff attend the
customer at the service users premises.  The relatives have informed
social services that the camera is operating and also a recording is
made.  Why the latter I have not yet enquired.

I need your thoughts on DPA for SSD, and implications re Human Right Act.

My current advice is to allow this to continue so long as all parties are
content with the arrangements, I am not sure that this is correct.

Advice please
