Book Description

The second edition of this practical guide has been revised and updated following the implementation of the Act to include more examples, model policies and statements, and decision-making flow charts, as well as authoritative answers to key questions, and a comprehensive index. It sets out clearly: what managers need to do in order to comply; who and what the Act applies to; when you need consent from the people whose data you hold; the rights of individuals as data subjects; the responsibilities of voluntary organizations; what managers need to do in order to stay within the law; and how to incorporate Data Protection into your policies and procedures.

The book showcases the exciting, groundbreaking, and yet often unrecognized work that the voluntary sector provides in correctional settings.
