Staff Awareness Interviews (print ref: Part 3, Section 3.2.3)

As well as checking the operation of the organisation's Data Protection Systems and related processes it is essential to assess the staff's awareness of Data Protection issues, particularly for those involved in the routine handling of personal data. This is best achieved via one-to-one interviews with the relevant members of staff, or via small Focus Groups.

These interviews are also a good opportunity to ask what Data Protection and related training has been received by the staff. The best environment for these sessions is a conference room, the Audit Base Room, or the office of the member of staff being interviewed if sufficiently private.

Tips on conducting one-to-one interviews and Focus Groups.
