Subject : Charity Commission not enforcing Privacy Law

Question : Charity Commission - via email and letter 28th April 2009 Charities can potentially steal ID as by allowing people (who could be anybody) to check details of DWP, Banking and all private details you are leaving vulnerable people to ID theft from less than scrupulous people running charities, I have experienced such people. CC needs to prevent charities from requesting too much information and needs to safegaurd Article 8 of the HRA as set out in British Civil Liberties law. Elizabeth Finn Care is just an example of violating article 8, simply because policy made by (anyone) allows them to view too much personal data. Police checks on staff able to view private data as well as enforcing Privacy Law i.e not allowing people financial help unless entry to the home -is something CC must alter to fit ECHR and British Privacy laws. I have no wish to go through a specific charity complaints procedure, but I wish to complain about the Charity Commision allowing charities to violate the law in the UK. Yours sincerely Elizabeth Robillard []
