My Department has a designated Data Protection/Freedom of Information/Records Management Officer who is responsible for implementing data protection legislation in accordance with the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003. There are 3.25 (whole time equivalent) staff in this office. The DES has published a 'Data Protection Code of Practice' which outlines the steps taken when processing personal data and the manner in which my Department responds to requests for access to personal data. The Code of Practice is available on the DES website.
