A 10-step guide to sharing information to safeguard children
John Edwards, the Information Commissioner, has made clear that if you need to share information to prevent harm to a child or young person, then data protection law enables you to do so.
In this session we’ll discuss our new practical guidance that helps you to share information to safeguard children and young people. We’ll explain how data protection law fits in and what you need to consider.
You’ll have the chance to ask us questions.

Section 40(2) FOIA - the personal data exemption - a practical approach
This session features senior ICO staff in conversation about the most commonly applied FOIA personal data exemption: section 40(2). We’ll discuss how to determine whether the requested information is personal data, and whether it’s always necessary to disclose personal data in order to meet the legitimate interest. It aims to steer you through aspects of the exemption in a practical way.
The workshop is designed for public authority staff and anyone else who deals with requests under FOIA and the EIR. Some experience of the section 40 exemption would be useful, but it should also help those who are newer to FOI.
