I guess this is in addition to another item they have produced on blagging
which is a video on CD as part of a blagging awareness pack - Perhaps the CD
is the DVD video without the "interactive" bit?

Subject: [data-protection] "Switch in to Data Protection" - did we miss
this?
Following the recent media coverage of identity theft and the dumping of
customers' personal information by banks, the Information Commissioner's
Office has launched 'The lights are on.'. This new interactive training DVD
is being released to improve understanding of the Data Protection Act in the
work place and ensure individuals' personal information is effectively
protected.
The DVD highlights a few common mistakes and the eight principles of good
data protection practice, to encourage better compliance with the Act. It
explains the problems that can arise for individuals when their personal
information is wrongly disclosed to a third party.
David Smith, Deputy Commissioner said: "This new DVD helps get the message
across that if you are entrusted with people's personal information, you
must make sure that you follow the principles of the Data Protection Act.
The DVD is a very useful training tool. It will help staff understand their
obligations under the Act. I encourage all organisations to make full use of
it."
The Information Commissioner's recent report, What Price Privacy? shows how
confidential information is sometimes obtained improperly from public and
private organisations, causing significant harm and distress to individuals.
The video demonstrates the technique a so-called "blagger" uses to extort a
customer's personal information from an unsuspecting employee. Organisations
and their staff need to be on their guard against such blaggers.
Two hundred thousand DVDs are being distributed free of charge to data
protection officers in the UK - the people in businesses and public
authorities who help ensure their organisations are data protection
compliant. The interactive DVD also provides employees with an opportunity
to refresh their knowledge of data protection and test it using a selection
of quizzes. To request a free copy visit www.ico.gov.uk
