Child's Interview Right's Practitioner regulations: data protection impact assessment

Data protection impact assessment (DPIA) relating to the Child's Interview Right's Practitioner (ChIRPs) and the age of criminal responsibility.


10. Authorisation and publication

The DPIA report should be signed by your Information Asset Owner (IAO). The IAO will be the Deputy Director or Head of Division.

Before signing the DPIA report, an IAO should ensure that she/he is satisfied that the impact assessment is robust, has addressed all the relevant issues and that appropriate actions have been taken.

By signing the DPIA report, the IAO is confirming that the impact of applying the policy has been sufficiently assessed against the individuals' right to privacy.

The results of the impact assessment must be published in the eRDM with the phrase "DPIA report" and the name of the project or initiative in the title.

Details of any relevant information asset must be added to the Information Asset Register, with a note that a DPIA has been conducted.

I confirm that the impact of introducing a Child Interview Rights Practitioner's Register has been sufficiently assessed against the needs of the privacy duty:
