Information Commissioner’s Office posters

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) have produced useful guidance and posters to help raise the issue of the importance of data privacy with the practice team. 

The posters are part of the ICO’s ‘Think.Check.Share’ toolkit and cover some of the most common mistakes seen by the ICO, including sending information to the wrong recipient, leaving work documents in public view or not appropriately disposing of information. The posters are available to use and can be accessed by clicking here

The ICO have also produced guidance called ‘TH!NK PRIVACY’ which has been created to communicate the importance of data privacy to employees. You can download this guidance by clicking here.
