Information Commissioners Office

When I registered, I phoned them up and they sent me form no. N943 Childminder Template and handbook ( saves you printing out all the paperwork).
I was asked to review draft, read and complete additional information and then to sign and return with payment which I eventually did and am now the proud owner of a piece of paper confirming my entry in the register.

I have been on the web site for ICO and can't find where you find the form. Can anyone tell me what to click on
thanks

I'd give them a ring and ask! It's much easier than trying to navigate that website

I have already registered but I can't help but think that the world has gone completely mad.

You have to register if you take digital photos - even if you delete them after printing but you don't need to if you use an analog or disposable camera - havene't you taken the picture just the same?

Its just another money grabbing scheme to boost the coffers of the government.

We received an early years publication from the council before Christmas which gave a brief summary of the ICO, the guide lines from the council were very unclear. I called the ICO and as Sarah said even using a digital camera means you need to register. I let my council know and I also called the NCMA and asked them to clarify this in the next edition of Who Minds. I have tried to pass the message to other local childminders but they still seem to think its an option not a necessity.

OK Thanks I will ring in the morning

Thanks Sarah, I have meant to do it for a while, but hadn't looked up their number. Phoned & form on the way to me.

makes no sense to me either I would have thought there would be more risk sending them off to one of the printing companies when you have no idea who could get their hands on them

[nokidshere]

Another nonsensical ruling

If you take a picture and immediately delete it from your camera then you dont have any data to protect since you have already got rid of it?

Makes absolutely no sense at all.
