CCTV Policy

CCTV Policy

  1. Purpose of the CCTV System The CCTV system is installed to enhance the security of the MP's office, ensuring the safety of staff, visitors, and the office. ADT handles the security of MP’s homes and offices. An assessment of our constituency office was carried out by ADT and it was considered necessary and proportionate to install and use a CCTV system.

 

  1. Location of cameras A camera is located near the door to our office. Its view has been limited to ensure the privacy of other tenants in our building and its view is restricted to the door to our office. We also have an intercom to confirm the identity of a visitor. Both the camera and the intercom are clearly visible. Appropriate signs are displayed so that visitors and other occupants of the building are aware they are entering an area covered by CCTV.

 

  1. Data Controller The Data Controller for the CCTV system is Gillian Keegan.
