Scottish Biometrics Commissioner: Draft Code of Practice

Meeting date: 15 June 2022

Audrey Nicoll

Yes. That is very helpful. It gives us a context and the backdrop to how the principles were developed.

It is fine to have principles and ethical considerations in the code of practice, but I am interested in how compliance with the code will be monitored in future. For instance, will there be a continual monitoring and reporting process with the relevant policing bodies, or is there another process that you feel will work best for the monitoring role?
