Principle 4: Security of Personal Data

This requires appropriate security measures to be applied to personal
data (including data in a form in which access to or processing of the

data is not practicable). The Law of Negligence in Schools

What does a school need to note in recruitment advertisements?

In relation to recruitment advertisements, the Code of Practice on
Human Resource Management requires that parties that place
recruitment advertisements must identify themselves and state the

purpose for which the data are to be used if they directly solicit
personal data from job applicants in a recruitment advertisement.
Where there is no direct solicitation of personal data in a recruitment

advertisement, such an advertisement would not be subject to the
requirements of the Code. For example, if the advertisement merely
invites job seekers to write in to obtain an application form or contact

a representative person, there is no direct solicitation of personal data.
