I hope all had a good break and if you were working that was all good as well.

A while ago a friend told me they had been at their daughters dance show at her school at the weekend and were told they could not take pictures because of the Data Protection Act.

Hopefully now most people know that this is not use, if you are taking pictures of your child in a show for your personal use then this is fine, however if the School takes pictures and whats to use them they need to check more carefull.

There have been a few cases in recent years where the Data Protection has been used as the reason for an action when in fact it was not the case. So one thing that is important is that you check if you need to register with the information commisors office and then you make sure you read all the relevent articles to your company.

Also make sure that someone keeps up to date as well, once a month it is worth seeing if therer are any new articles to read. OK so not the most exciting top but it does make sure you are compliant and ahead of the game.
