This is the first book to offer a single point of reference and advice, which can be understood by the non-legal professional. The requirements of the relevant legislation are set out together with examples, flow-charts, and diagrams to illustrate and clarify how to apply the law in practice. This indispensable guide is a one-stop shop for all you need to know about information rights law, using relevant case studies to clarify and illuminate these tricky issues.Contents include: Data Protection Act 1998 - definitions of personal data; scope of the Act; the principles; access to personal data and data sharing; and, Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 - scope of the Acts; applications of exemptions/exceptions; public interest tests, publication schemes; and, disclosure logs and records management.It also includes: Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000; Human Rights Act 1998; Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005; other non-information rights-related legislation; interaction of legislation; and, requests for information.
