A question was raised at a recent meeting about our PVP register. The future
census will entail people going out to chase up forms. Whilst many of these will
be Council staff, some could be temporary staff employed just for this job.
Should they have access to data on our PVP register if the house/person they
are going to is on the register ?
Whilst at the time of visiting they are in fact our agents, once over we would
have no control over what they might divulge. I realise this is true of any
member of staff that leaves the authority, but wondered whether we should
have some sort of statement of confidentiality for them to sign. I suppose this
could apply to temporary staff who are only employed once a year to chase up
electoral forms.....
If we withheld the information and one was attacked, would we be to blame ?
Has anyone else considered this ?
