Former Health Worker fined £1,715 for obtaining and disclosing personal data

A former health care assistant has been ordered to pay a total of £1,715 in fines and costs after pleading guilty to offences of unlawfully obtaining and disclosing personal data. The Information Commissioner(ICO) said that the assistant had accessed the medical records of 29 people without a business purpose to do so. Some of the information was subsequently shared with others. That was a breach of patient confidentiality and an unlawful act under the Data Protection Act. The ICO points out that those who work with personal data need to know that they can’t just access it or share it with others when they feel like it and the employer’s policy should make that clear. We often make the point on our #DataProtection training courses that this law is not vacuum packed from other laws such as the Human Rights Act. All personal information can lead to intrusions and interferences with people’s private lives. That can be distressing and damaging for individuals. It can give th

BBC gender pay gap problems - don't let the same happen to you

Publication of the BBC's presenter remuneration rates has highlighted wide differences in the monies paid to male and female presenters doing similar roles. The adage all publicity is good publicity might not be quite so true on this occasion. Unfortunately we expect many more companies and organisations to suffer similar adverse publicity when they publish their gender pay gap reports From 6 April 2017 employers in Great Britain with more than 250 staff will be required by law to publish the following four types of figures annually on their own website and on a government website: Gender pay gap (mean and median averages) Gender bonus gap (mean and median averages) Proportion of men and women receiving bonuses Proportion of men and women in each quartile of the organisation’s pay structure Concrew Training's equal pay audit training helps those tasked with completing equal pay audits understand what is required, how to present the data and what to do when gaps

Funeral Director Clay Cross - High Quality - Low Cost Funerals

Gonetoosoon Clay Cross, is a family business run by my good friends Graham, Amy and Sue.  Their vision was to bring a modern forward thinking service to Clay Cross. one that maintained the traditional values of outstanding customer service, compassion and empathy with a bright modern look, outstanding value, clear prices and no hidden extras. The last point is far more important than you may think because "disbursements" can cost well over £1000 so a quote of £1000 plus disbursements probably means a final bill that is well in excess of £2000. It makes sense to shop around but make sure you call Graham or Amy on 01246 86 26 56 or check out their web site #funeral #funerals #death #rip #funeraldirector
