Exercise 1: step 1

Law into practice 1:
general principles of recording and data protection

Initial self-assessment question

How well do you know the practice implications of the law relating to recording and data protection?

The aim of the first three exercises is to give you a chance to brush up your knowledge about the law on recording and access to records. But the emphasis throughout is on helping you to relate the law to practice; we are not trying to turn you into lawyers, so make sure that, if complex legal points occur when people ask to see their files, you seek advice from managers or lawyers (or both).

Each of the three exercises consists of a short quiz with ten questions, followed by the answers. We hope you enjoy doing them. Good luck!
