The Monitoring Association has released new guidelines on determining the severity of an intrusion alarm activation. Using manual or automated scoring data, alarm activations can be assigned a score from 0 to 4, with 0 having the least severity and 4 having a confirmed threat to life. This system will help to prioritize the allocation of law enforcement. As opposed to a first come, first serve system, resources will be diverted to the most serious situations first to have the best chance at saving lives and helping businesses. You can read in detail about the scoring methodology here: https://hubs.li/Q02FCfFm0

Policies and Procedures – a really important part of running your therapy practice. Its only when you think someone is likely to inspect your business or ask about them, does it make you think you should have all these in place. I’m sure you already have a safeguarding policy and a data protection policy but what about the rest, ask us about the list we can provide – tracey@virtual-administration.com

Subject Access Requests - How do I respond? Check if the requester has specified the format in which they would like the information, otherwise the information should be shared via an electronic format that is commonly used. Remember, the information should be transferred via a secure method and should also be provided in an easy-to-follow format. Be mindful not to disclose data about a third party – you can check whether the information needs redacting or if an exemption applies here. https://buff.ly/486HrjR
