Just to say thank you for the fantastic respose on and off list. I am compiling some more questions but just wanted to say something now rather than you think I have not read what you have sent.

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Police access

I advise disclosure of basic information to the police (only) in "hot pursuit" situations, but require a completed s29 post-facto.

I'm happy to accept an emailed/faxed form, but insist on collar/shoulder numbers from the requesting officer and the SPOC (Sergeant or higher).

There is a ACPO form.

Hi,

 

We have requests from social workers, police, tax authorities etc as part of our everyday business. We have a section 29/35 request form where we do not have a formal data sharing agreement to give reasons for exemption for disclosure. This was kindly supplied by a list member and adapted to fit our corporate guidelines. A few questions:

  • Can we accept a filled out form via email or does it have to be faxed/posted/signed etc?
  • Is a domain record enough? e.g. ??.gov.uk to prove who they are
  • Police can be quite pushy at getting exemptions without the need for a form e.g. "this is a missing person and we need this information now" or "no one else asks us to fill out forms why are you so special". If turning up in person is a badge number/name enough to give info

We do not get a lot of requests but having a formalised process and being consistent would be better so any help is appreciated :)
