Data Protection/Freedom of Information

The Data Protection Act 1998 regulates the processing of personal information relating to individuals. This includes the obtaining, holding, using or disclosing of such information, and covers computerised records as well as manual records. The Parish Council has agreed that it will hold the minimum personal information necessary to enable it to perform its functions. All such information is confidential and needs to be treated with care, to comply with the law.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives people the right to request, in writing, information from public authorities. It is intended to promote a culture of openness and accountability amongst public sector bodies, and therefore facilitate better public understanding of how public authorities carry out their duties, why they make the decisions they do, and how they spend public money.  A significant development in openness came with the introduction of the Transparency Code, which is dealt with on a separate page at this time.

The Parish Council updates its registration with the Information Commissioner's Office, annually. The latest certificate may be viewed below.
