For a public authority and/or its employees, "unfair destruction" can be a
criminal offence, if it's done to with the intention of preventing
disclosure as part of a SAR response (Section 77, FOIA).

Subject: Re: Interview notes
In all circumstances it behoves any organisation to have a "Data retention
Policy" and a "Data Deletion and Destruction policy" (these are
complementary, not opposites) and to have simple versions available for
public inspection. Interview notes and disciplinary hearing notes should be
considered for explicit mention in the policies
In this way no accusations of "unfair destruction" may be made unless there
are breaches of those policies.
Such policies should, of course, be a part of the HR Code of Conduct and
breaches should be subject to disciplinary action up to and including
summary dismissal for a grave offence.
I often end up drafting these. It never ceases to surprise me how often
they are absent.

find the emails. So if you all don't mind being patient with me, could you
confirm if in your opinion within the context of a selection interview (as
for a job), can the interviewee ask to see the notes made by the
interviewing panel when they were interviewing him/her for the job ?
