I.T. Compliance – Government Regulations

Alston Moor Parish Council has put in place secure and modern IT systems to protect council business and personal data.

All councillors now use official council email addresses on tablets on loan to councillors for the duration of their term of office. Our website meets national accessibility standards.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), have adopted GDPR policies, and provide training to councillors and staff.

Council information is stored securely, only kept as long as necessary, and handled in line with the law. In short — we are fully compliant with national requirements and committed to keeping residents’ data safe and our digital services open, accessible, and transparent.
