ICT at key stage 3    (Year 8)

Unit 11: Data - use and misuse
Section 6: Activity 3 (1)

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • that individuals and organisations are protected, by law, from information about them being misused or used at all

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Hold a discussion on what pupils would want as laws to stop information about them being used or misused. This should be compared to the main points of the 1984 and 1998 Data Protection Acts.
  • understand that there are laws that protect people from misuse of information about them

Points to note

  • Homework may include a study of the junk mail received during the week and seeing if family members know why particular items are received. In a class discussion this can introduce the concept that we have a right to know who holds information on us and why they should hold information on us.
