  4. Data Protection and implications It is important that all school staff who potentially handle pupil and/or staff personal information are sufficiently aware of the Data Protection Principles of good information handling and that staff do not disclose personal information on other people without their consent. Consequences of breaching the Act If Aberdeenshire Council were to breach any one or more of the Data Protection Principles, the Information Commissioner’s Office could impose a substantial fine of up to £500,000 on Aberdeenshire Council and also require the Council to take specific steps to rectify the breach. This could also result in significant negative publicity for Aberdeenshire Council. There are 8 Data Protection principles and all staff require to be familiar with these.

  5. The 8 Principles • Personal information should be processed lawfully and fairly. Individuals must not be misled or deceived and must be told who is collecting the information (in our case Aberdeenshire Council) • Everything that is done or intended to be done with an individual’s personal information must be specified to them • On collecting information from an individual you must ensure that you do not collect more information than is necessary • On collecting information about an individual, you must ensure the information is accurate, and where necessary up to date

  6. The 8 Principles (continued) 5. Any information you collect about an individual must only be kept for as long as necessary 6. Individuals have a number of rights with regard to information. • Right of subject access – Individuals can write to the council to request a copy of some or all of the information the council holds on them • Right to Prevent Processing for Direct marketing • Right to Rectify, Block, Erase or Destroy information 7. Security – Council must put in place measures to ensure personal information (paper or electronic) is not accidentally lost, destroyed or damaged. Also ensuring no unauthorised use.

  7. The 8 Principles (continued) 8. Personal information should only be passed to other countries which have the equivalent of the Data Protection Act and respect Human Rights. e.g. European Union countries are acceptable but not the United States unless company has safe harbour status.
