I agree with Tim. It has to be managed carefully and considerately. And I agree that Principle 7 could bite you.

The best way to prevent the unnecessary spread of data is to limit access to it. By mixing staff from different disciplines in the same
environment, the organisation loses the most obvious method of control. So what the organisation has to do is demonstrate what it has done instead - training, reminders, clear desk policies, places for staff to have confidential meetings and discussions, and
proper supervision by management. Where any misuse of data is detected, there will have to be disciplinary proceedings. It isn’t that you can’t do agile / flexible working, just that the range of necessary measures is bigger and more complicated.

Scenario - In a drive towards more agile/flexible working an organisation is planning to adopt an approach permitting any staff to work from any office environment within the organisation.
My take on this is that it cannot be a free for all and there needs to be some elements of commonality between the staff work roles within that work environment.
Although everyone is bound by confidentiality at work I think it would be wholly inappropriate for say a Highways Engineer to sit amongst Social Care staff where normal office work related (and client related) discussions/conversations take place.
Should a breach of data security occur I am of the opinion that the 7th principle will come crashing down as a very reasonable and easy way of preventing such a breach would have been not to have allowed/adopted such working practice in the first place.
Would welcome all views
