CCTV Policy update: retention
We've updated the CCTV policy to consider the requirements of retention, especially over the summer holiday.
There may be situations where at the start of a summer holiday a subject access request comes in for CCTV footage - but there are no resources available in schoo to stop the footage from being deleted under the regular retention schedule.
Therefore, where organisations are unable to access and retrieve this footage over the holidays, we recommend extending the retention period to cover the time from the earliest footeage under the normal retention period (e.g. 15 days prior) to ensure this footage is still available when the request will be dealt with after the summer holidays.
This avoid situations where footage is deleted after a request has been submitted.
See CCTV Best Practice Area for the template (v1.5).
