Issue - meetings

3.10pm

Report from the Director for Law and Governance.

This report will highlight the work of the Information Management team to give assurance on how these issues are handled within the Council.

The Committee is RECOMMENDED to note the report.

Recommendation agreed.

Nick Graham introduced the report noting that Information Management had a higher profile following the introduction of GDPR.  This report aggregates work across the organisation.

Officers responded to Members’ questions as follows:

·         The Information Governance Board includes senior officers and their deputies and provides scrutiny for the IG Group.  They also approve changes to processes and provide guidance for the Data Protection Officer.

·         Although GDPR originated from the EU, it will remain in place after Brexit.

·         The Council bid for work with OxLEP and charged based on cost.  There may be opportunities for further work with them or with schools or Town Councils who would find the regulations daunting.

·         All incidents reported to the ICT service are passed on to the Information Management team.

RESOLVED: to note the report.
