Subject: [data-protection] Subject Access Requests - complaints
Hi
In a bit of a quandary here. We have an employee who had a complaint made against him (probably vindictive) and employers found no case to answer. Complainant trying to ruin a career. Now the employee's solicitors have written to ask for a copy of the complaint letter (data subject knows who the person is) but they want the letter and his details to be able to write to him asking him to desist from doing this.
I was at a conference recently and am sure ICO's Office said that we couldn't disclose complaints. However, surely this is at odds with DP i.e. a data subject is entitled to have inaccurate data amended. It may be that the letter could just be taken off the file. I am just a bit wary about disclosing.
Any views appreciated.
Regards
Doreen
