It is a key part of our accountability obligations and a legal requirement, particularly where something is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. DPIAs increase awareness of privacy issues and data protection rights at the early stages allowing us to adopt a data protection by design approach. We will consider undertaking a DPIA for any new data processing activities we are considering or any changes to existing processes. If you would like a copy of a DPIA we’ve carried out, you can submit a request to our Quality and Governance Team, cbchealth.governance@nhs.net.
