Dear Mr Martin
I write in connection with your request for information dated 16^th
October concerning RSPCA employees authorised to access the Police
National Computer.
Specifically you asked:
RSPCA PNC, STORM & data access
How many Employees of the RSPCA, or individuals working on behalf of the
RSPCA are authorised by your Police Force to make PNC, STORM
or other information/data enquiries on all or any systems you operate.
Please specify if these individuals have direct or indirect access to such
information and systems.
Please also specify which information systems they have access to.
Your request for information has now been considered and no information is
held.
Only Police Officers and Police Staff with appropriate access rights
direct access to any police systems. RSPCA officers do not have this
access. The RSPCA often have local agreements with Police Forces where
they can ask for checks (mainly PNC) to be done and if this is the case
there would also be an agreement in place such as a Memorandum of
Understanding or Information Sharing Protocol and it would be a designated
Police SPOC to RSPCA SPOC via the DPA sec 29(3). Any official request the
RSPCA make to the Police would be covered by DPA Sec 29(3) and risk
assessed by the Police before any response is made.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
Yours sincerely
