They have legal obligations defined in the Data Protection Act and these are set out in “A Data Controller’s Guide” on the Data Protection section of the ABCP website. Data controllers and those employed by them to process data on their behalf (crime managers, collators, co-ordinators), need to be insured against the possibility of claims for wrongful acts carried out by them or their crime manager/collator/co-coordinator or for claims brought by aggrieved persons, whether they have merit or not.
The type of insurance cover required by the board of management (directors) and crime managers, collators or coordinators is professional indemnity (PI) insurance. They can also provide public liability (PL) insurance for those who require it and employers’ liability (EL), radio mast, office contents, laptops and partnership radios, where required. An outline of the cover is shown below and full details of the policy cover are available on request. The insurances attract very competitive rates as an AABC membership benefit.
