Number of partners of non-resident parents and other individuals not directly related to any individual case whose personal information, including financial history and employment records are kept on record or visible to staff.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

As a result of a phone conversation this morning I am aware that my own personal and financial details are available to CSA/CMEC staff. I have never had any direct involvement with CSA/CMEC - my only association is as a result of my partner's obligations.

Please inform me how many people who have no direct involvement in any child maintenance case (e.g. new partners of non-resident parents) have personal, financial or employment details recorded on CSA/CMEC databases or visible to staff.

Please also inform me what steps the CSA/CMEC are taking to obtain permission for keeping such records and what measures are in place to protect and dispose of this information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Yours faithfully,

Fiona Short
