East Cheshire have sent out a letter to all childminders.
It says that if you use a computer to keep records OR if you take digital photos of children in your care then you have to register with ICO.
I asked again about what if you take photos, print and then delete and the answer is ...
You must register because you have taken the photo on digital media, whether you delete immediately or not.
This is the ICO website -
www.ico.gov.uk and the rules about digital media are apparently clarified on there.
You can contact ICO to talk to someone here - 01625 545740 - Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm.
It costs £35 and is renewable every year.
You can register on the internet using the 'N894 Nursery' form...
or request a notification form from the website and post it back with the fee...
or ring 01625 545740 and ask for a notification form which you again post back with the fee.
