Requests for access to personal data held by public sector organisations are on the increase. Whether they are Data Protection Subject Access Requests or requests for access to third party personal data, this workshop will shed light on the law and best practice in this complex area. The impact of the Freedom of Information Act and the Data Protection Act will be considered, as well as individuals’ right to privacy under Human Rights legislation. The latest caselaw and Information Commissioner and Tribunal/Court of Session decisions will be explained. Delegates will also discuss sector specific case studies and practice the drafting of responses to requests.
