A trainer's perspective
|
|
As a an accredited trainer for the BCS/ISEB Certificate in Data Protection I am often asked to recommend text books. This for me is by far the best on the market today. I used the first edition of Peter's book and now recommend the latest edition. It wins for me because it is a 'readable' book that manages to explain the Act in clear language with good supporting illustrations and relevant case law without talking down to the reader. Unlike many legal books the reader is not faced with the need to constantly flick backwards and forwards in an effort to understand the references. The inclusion of the Act and other legislation in one volume is another added bonus. I'm not going to go so far as to say 'pack this in your case when you go on holiday' but I'm sure you get the message.

The first edition of this book has been invaluable to me as a website designer. I am delighted to see this new edition contains a chapter on websites, privacy policies, use of opt-out clauses, etc. As far as I can tell, Carey’s book gives the best explanation of the law in a practical context of any text book out there. Highly recommended.
