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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html 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 : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm Any queries about sending or receiving message please send to the list owner [log in to unmask] (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
