Help! Can any list members offer any advice on how the new data protection act impacts on the use of CCTV. Am I right to assume that if the purpose of the CCTV is the prevention and detection of crime, apprehension or prosecution of offenders, securing the health, safety and welfare of persons at work, the exemptions stated within the act apply. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you in advance Sandra Knauer Assistant Registrar University of Newcastle upon Tyne
