POLICY ON CALDICOTT STANDARDS
WHO MUST ABIDE BY THIS POLICY?
All temporary workers.
In 1997 the Caldico1 Commi1ee, chaired by Dame Fiona Caldico1, issued a report on
the protec<on of personally iden<fiable informa<on within the health services. This
report iden<fied standards, which began to be implemented in the Health Service in
1998. In 2000, the government decided that these standards should be extended to
“Councils with Social Service Responsibili5es”, and this process is now under way. This
leaflet gives a summary of the Caldico1 Principles and the responsibili<es of all staff.
The Caldico1 Standards are based on the Data Protec<on Act 1998 principles and
again are set out in the form of Principles
