LS Lewis Silkin More We have two things at our core: people – both ours and yours - and a focus on creativity, technology and innovation. Whether you are a fast growth start up or a large multinational business, we help you realise the potential in your people and navigate your strategic HR and legal issues, both nationally and internationally.

The following principles should guide your response to any DSARs. We have focused here on employment-related DSARs and we therefore use related terminology, but bear in mind any data subject can bring any rights request against a controller – not just employees. Recognise the DSAR immediately. A DSAR may be made in writing, by email, social media or other electronic means, or even verbally.

Can the right to complain be incorporated into an existing compliance speak-up line? The intake can be done that way in terms of your preferred process, but you do need to ensure complaints can come through any route (as it may not be someone who knows about that) and that the speak up process incorporates the "must" requirements in the ICO's complaints guidance, along with the "shoulds" and "coulds" that you wish to adopt.
