Hi,
I received my copy of Who Minds on Friday. It states "if you keep data about other people on your computer (including the children you mind) observations in particular you have to notify the Information Commissioner's Office that you are a data controller for data protection purposes" The notification is £35 per year and you can do this online www.ico.gov.uk or call 01625 545740. This seems a bit far fetched to me but I don't really have room for reems of paper with obs etc on everywhere. Not sure what to do now, but thought I would bring it to your attention just incase anyone else was thinking of keeping obs etc on their computer.
