Privacy Awareness Week - 1 to 7 May 2023

Council is supporting Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) which runs from Monday 1 May to Sunday 7 May 2023. This year’s theme is ‘Privacy 101: Back to basics’.

PAW is an annual event to raise awareness within the public sector and the broader community about the importance of protecting and respecting personal information. It is a great reminder about the importance of protecting our personal information in our day-to-day activities.

We can all better protect and respect personal information by asking ourselves simple questions.

At every opportunity when personal information is collected, used, stored and shared consider:

• How will the information be used?
• Why it is being collected?
• Who will have access to it?
