Subject: [data-protection] Data Protection advice
Good afternoon
We have recently formed a new central (3 person) team in the Northern
Ireland Civil Service (NICS) to look after Data Protection, we are
starting from a low base of data protection knowledge, so are looking
for advice and guidance on how to learn and what we should be doing.
We have had a meeting with the ICO and they will be coming back to us
with some thoughts. We have also had discussions with Departmental
Information Managers, who have given us a wish list of what they want us
to do.
Obviously we have to manage their expectations, as we are a lot less
experienced and knowledgeable in DP issues than them.
Do you know of any particularly good training courses, websites,
journals that we should be going on or accessing to quickly help us get
to grips with this legislation?
We have also written a draft Information Management strategy and are
expecting it to be published in October, it's currently out with
colleagues at the minute, so come Octber we will also be tasked with
driving forward recomendations of that document and also recomendations
from a recent Gateway 5 of the project that introduced an EDRM system
several years ago.
Its also very possible that on top of these tasks we will become the
central team for FOI/EIR as well as DP, but that is still to be
confirmed and decided.
I'd be grateful for any guidance, a starting point, as starting always
seems most difficult, especially when there appears to be so much
information out there.
I'd especially be interested to hear from anyone who set up a central DP
team within their organisation.
I know our structure in the NICS will most likely differ a lot from most
other organisations, and the problems will be different, but any advice
will be useful.
Thanks
Stephen
