Sunita Mason’s 2009 report

Sunita Mason was appointed the Independent Advisor for Criminality Information Management in September 2009 to consider issues arising as a result of the ‘five constables’ case and  increasing public debate on the use of personal information.  

Her report A Balanced Approach  looked at how government agencies share information to protect the public as well as the retention and use of criminal record information held by the police on the Police National Computer (PNC).
