What is a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

A DPIA is a process which allows the Council to identify and reduce the privacy risks of a project. An effective DPIA will be used throughout the development and implementation of a project, using existing project management processes.  A DPIA enables the Council to systematically and thoroughly analyse how a particular project or system will affect the privacy of individuals involved.  DPIA guidance is available on the Information Commissioner’s Officer (ICO) website.
