The University has dedicated webpages about data protection compliance. The pages include information about the Data Protection Act 1998 and the policy and procedures that have been put in place to ensure that the University remains compliant with its legal obligations.
The site also contains guidance for staff, which includes:
- key points to remember about data protection.
- what to do if somebody is wanting to find out what information the University holds about them.
- what to do if someone external to the University asks you for information about a member of the University.
- use of images for events and publicity.
- what to do if you have a concern about data protection compliance or if you wish to report a breach.
