Asking Well: A Specific, Lawful and Sufficient Request
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Most requests that fail do not fail on law. They fail on form. The wrong company. A display name where a username was needed. "All data" with no dates. This unit shows what a complete request contains, and why each part is there.
Focus: ask the right company, for the least data that answers your question, with a legal basis that fits that kind of data.
Learning objectives
- Apply four tests to any request before you send it.
- Name the twelve fields of a complete request and say what each one is for.
- Match the legal authority to the kind of data, and build up in steps.
- Explain what consent and voluntary routes can and cannot give.
- Ask for secrecy with reasons and a time limit.
- Find the fault in a request that a provider would reject.
