Please be aware that the legislation is very clear that the Data Protection Officer is not personally responsible for non-compliance with data protection requirements. This responsibility stays with the organisation itself as does the responsibility for the data processing activities. Therefore it is essential that a considered choice is made when appointing to this role. If you wish to see more information regarding the Data Protection Officer role, guidance can be found from the Information Commissioners Office by clicking here.
