I think this is a good bit of work. The early emphasis on fines and authority being more than a little counter productive. Education has always been far more sensible to my mind. Not least because of the major commercial risk none com0liance gives rise to. Please keep on doing this kind of thing.
What would be really useful is if Case Workers were sufficiently trained to understand that there are other areas of UK legislation that require data to be retained for either certain periods or indefinitely. Too many fail to either know of or understand other legislation that requires Local Authorities to retain information as a Statutory Requirement. There is a lack of basic competence here.
You need to be much tougher enforcing the rules around SAR requests - especially when there are serious outcomes on individuals for not following GDPR. It seems that caseworkers are extremely reluctant to flex any muscle and the outward impression is that it is not understood properly. Atrocious organisation.
Gj, quite useful for intro level.

2wWhat would be great is if your case workers were conversant with safeguarding legislation and upheld the UKGDPR fairness principle, rather than say oh….they had a lawful basis as they were safeguarding….. DHSC SHARE consensus is clear…..if you have an adult, with capacity that poses no risk to others …and disents to data sharing ..it is unlawful to share that data. If a LA has been passed a SCARF safeguarding form from the Police and the person doesn’t meet the care act criteria 2014. …the Council have no lawful basis to accept it. If the Council then shares that data without the permission of the data controller…it is unlawful and breaches DPA 2018. If the Council share the SCARF with a non statutory safegiarding authority..they are breaking the law. Vital interest cannot be used if a person is capable of consent but refuses. Your case workers were incompetent in my case…didn’t undertpstand safeguarding and supported epistemic violence and organisational abuse. You came get the basics right r
