System Effectiveness
The CCTV Code of Practice (Revised Edition 2008) issued under the Data Protection Act by the Information Commisioner recommends that there should be a periodic review (at least annually) of the system's effectiveness. In accordance with this, The Royal Borough undertakes an assessment of its scheme at the end of each operating year to evaluate its effectiveness of the stated purpose of the scheme.
The CCTV control room is also subject to periodic internal audits to ensure that its operation complies with legislation, its own Code of Practice and operating procedures.
