  Would you be surprised if we told you Data Protection was one of our most popular training courses?   We think many people would be, but when you look at the drivers behind their requests, it becomes clear why so many organisations have data protection as a top priority. Firstly, but by no means least,  is the amount of things that can and still go wrong. Usually because management or staff don’t understand or don’t follow the law or their systems and procedures fail to take data protection legislation into account. Recent example include:    - Boomerang Video £60,000 fine for failing to take basic steps to safeguard its web site from cyber attack   - Nottingham County Council £70,000 fine for leaving vulnerable people’s personal information exposed   - Home Logic UK £50,000 fine for making unwanted telephone calls to customers    and its not just companies, individuals can get fined too: - A Former Health Worker £1050 fine plus £600 i

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

The adage all publicity is good publicity might not be quite so true on this occasion.
