I would add my support. I have dealt with several such bodies and when
you actually look at what they do with personal data, notifying seems
the safest course to take.

I agree with Tim. I think it would be very wise to voluntarily
register,
even if it is determined that the charity is exempt (I don’t think it
is
though). I do a lot of work in the education sector (Government
departments)
and without going into reams of typing, I would recommend
registration.

Simon Howarth.

Renzo,
Knowing that every penny is important for a charity, and that even £35
spent
with the UKIC is money that can't be used for charitable purposes, I'd
still
suggest notification in order to reduce the whole slew of uncertainties
that
being exempt or not exempt creates.
Your thoughts on their being potentially exempt seem to gel with the
wording
you quote. However, what happens if a purpose varies even slightly and
thus
removes potential exemption?
Against notification is the fact that the UKIC takes several warning
attempts before enforcing the offence of non registration, so it could
be a
worthwhile gamble, but is the hassle worth it?

I am helping a charity on a pro-bono basis in relation to a number of
issues. Without giving too much away about the identity of the
charity,
they seek to help individuals get back into education and/or work.
They
are handling personal data (in fact, sensitive personal data) of the
individuals they seek to help.
I am wondering whether they need to notify to the ICO or can rely on
the
exemption set out in Para 5 of the schedule to the Data Protection
Notification Regs 2000 (non profit-making organisations). The issue
I
have is whether the individuals which are assisted (on a perhaps
one-off
basis) fall within the "exempt purpose" set out in para (b):
(b) is for the purposes of establishing or maintaining membership of
or
support for the body or association, or providing or administering
activities for individuals who are either members of the body or
association
or have regular contact with it;
Assuming that my client "administers activities" for them whilst
providing
its assistance (which I think it does), is that individual which the
charity
is helping someone who has "regular contact" with them (they are not
members)? My instinct is no, and the exemption does not therefore
apply,
but wonder if anyone has considered the meaning of that expression in
this
context.
