Polices and procedures.
The main purpose of the Individual Rights Procedures is to provide guidelines for the appropriate and effective completion of Surrey Heath Borough Council’s (SHBC) statutory requirement under the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) and to ensure employees and FOI staff are aware of how they should action and manage Individual Rights requests received by the Council.
