The Information Compliance Office has developed a Data Protection Annual Compliance Checklist for University Faculties, Departments, Divisions and other Institutions.  The checklist sets out a number of practical ‘housekeeping’ actions to be completed on an annual basis by individual University departments to help ensure their ongoing compliance with data protection law.

 

Checklist for 2023-24

The checklist for the academic year 2023-24 is in preparation and will be issued in April 2024; completed copies will be requested by July 2024.  The actions in the Checklist will largely be the same as 2022-23 but there will be some changes to the mechanics of the return (e.g. requiring check-box replies as well as free text commentary) and to the feedback/follow-up arrangements.  Direct communications to departments will be issued in due course.

 

Checklist for 2022-23

The checklist exercise for the academic year 2022-23 is finished.

The checklist was issued in early March 2023; departments (and equivalents) were contacted directly and asked to submit a completed copy by mid-July 2023. 

Online briefing sessions took place in April 2023; the slides are available.

Feedback has been given to departments on their completed checklists for 2022-23.

 

Past checklists

The checklist was first issued in November 2020 for the academic year 2020-21.  It was revised and reissued in November 2021 for the academic year 2021-22. These past versions are retained for reference but should no longer be used.
