A draft code of practice on sharing personal data has been published by the Information Commissioner. The code gives advice both on regular data sharing between the same organisations for an established purpose, and on one-off decisions. The framework could potentially help to avoid data sharing disputes, which have long been a bone of contention between performing arts venues and touring companies. Those involved in data sharing are encouraged to read the consultation document and respond by 5 January 2011.
