New data protection guidance for employers

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has published new guidance for organisations to help them deal with requests from individuals for their data.

The new guidance is aimed at helping organisations handle subject access requests more efficiently, while supporting the public in taking control of their personal information.

As part of the launch the ICO has launched a ten-step checklist that organisations can follow online when considering their response to a subject access request.
