Domestic Violence and Data protection

The request was refused by Information Commissioner's Office.

Dear Information Commissioner’s Office,

I make this request under the freedom of information .

How does the ICO protect victims of Domestic violence data ?

What information should local authorities give the abuser ? for example daily work schedules of the victim , places and times of meetings etc

When there is live court proceedings should a local authority be requesting information from the victims? when the court have said not to disclose information.

What is the duty of care given to the victims of domestic violence by the ICO? how do you achieve this ?

What about children and young people , does the ICO owe them a duty of care ? how do you achieve this?

What actions do you take against local authorities who share data with the abuser ?

How does the ICO protect victims of domestic violence where the Local authority has already been served with an enforcement notice and yet still breaches data protection for victims of domestic violence ?

Where young people are involved , at what age does parental responsibility end ?

Does a young person over the age of 18 have to sign documents permitting their data to be given to the abuser?

Yours faithfully,

Mr Briggs

Case Reference Number IRQ0750319

 

Dear Mr Briggs

Thank you for contacting the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
through the [1]whatdotheyknow.com (WDTK) website.
 
The WDTK website was created to help people request information from
public authorities under the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) and the
Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs).
 
The ICO is the regulator responsible for overseeing information rights
legislation. We are also subject to the legislation we oversee.
 
As a public authority the ICO is subject to the FoIA and EIRs and so if
people want to request information we might hold about our work as a
public body, they can do this through WDTK.
 
The correspondence you have sent to us is not a request for information we
might hold. It is an enquiry about the legislation we oversee. We provide
a range of advice services for organisations and for the public. However,
we do not provide these through the WDTK website. 
 
Please visit our website at [2]www.ico.org.uk where you will find a great
deal of advice about the legislation we oversee. You can also contact our
helpline on 0303 123 1113 where a member of our team will be happy to help
you.
 
If you would like to submit your enquiry in writing you should email it to
[3][email address] . We aim to respond to most of the enquiries we
receive within 7 days.
 
Please do not reply to this message. We make no commitment to respond if
you do.
 
Yours sincerely
