NEW STATUTORY CODE OF PRACTICE PUBLISHED

17/05/2011

A new statutory code of practice designed to 'help businesses & public sector bodies share people's personal information appropriately' has been published by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).  The data sharing code of practice covers both routine & one-off instances of data sharing.

It includes good practice advice that will be helpful to all organisations that share personal information - for example when local authorities share information with the health service or when building societies provide information to a credit reference agency.  The code gives advice on when & how personal information can be shared as well as how to keep it secure.
