Data Sharing Statutory Code of Practice and Guidance

[elsiegee40]

"The data sharing code of practice is a statutory code which has been issued after being approved by the Secretary of State and laid before Parliament. The code explains how the Data Protection Act (DPA) applies to the sharing of personal data.

 

It provides practical advice to all organisations, whether public, private or third sector, that share personal data and covers systematic data sharing arrangements as well as ad hoc or one off requests to share personal data."
