This supplementary guidance does not in itself form part of the Information Commissioner's ‘Employment Practices Data Protection Code'. It is intended to complement the main Code by giving supplementary information about the issues covered in it.
This guidance includes notes and examples which are intended to give readers a better understanding of some of the practical issues that may arise when implementing the Information Commissioner's good practice recommendations. It also includes a set of frequently asked questions and useful contact details. We hope it will be of use to those seeking a more in-depth understanding of the issues covered in the Code itself.
