Freedom of information Act 2000

The freedom of information act 2000, is an act of parliament of the United Kingdom that

creates a public “right of access” to information held by public authorities. It is the

implementation of freedom of information legislation in the United Kingdom on a national

level. The Act implements a manifesto commitment of the labour party in the 1997 general

election.

This act will provide the individuals and Chanel with the right to request information held by

a public authority, it tells the applicant whether they hold the information. Even though users

can view Chanel’s website by browsing however it is done anonymously however Chanel does

give the people an opportunity to register and receive newsletters, they also give a link below

their website that allows people to access their social network, Facebook, twitter, YouTube,

Instagram etc...

Right of access to information held by public authorities, this is when a person requests

information to public authority which they would be informed in writing where they will hold

information of the description which is specified in the request. Therefore as there is a lot of

pictures posted and tweeted and any other form of social media there is always information

getting out to the people which means that Chanel is giving the people the ‘freedom of

information’ as they are not being deprived from the information.

Act 1998 came into force in the United Kingdom in October 2000. It is composed of a series of

sections that have an effect of codifying the protection in the European convention on Human

rights into UK law. This helps Chanel protect and affirm that every individual dignity is

important, which means no matter where they come from, what age or culture, religion or

income they may have they will be treated fairly and respectfully from Chanel and even within

the workers. Human rights could also be responsibility and duties to other people and the

community, it’s important for everyone to know human rights and protect them to reduce

cruelty, if people understand it, the situation would be easier for them to promote justice and

wellbeing of the people.

Ethical Issues

There are also ethical issues that are dealt with using organisational policies and codes of

practise such as: use of email, internet and whistle blowing. Which are ethical issues which

are acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in a business.

Many businesses including Chanel have a code of practice on the correct use of their emails.

Many companies have a code of practice on the use of the internet and what their

employees can and cannot do in regards with the internet. Chanel using social media such as

Facebook which has code of practise when people use their website or internet relating to

them and what the users can and cannot use Facebook for. For example users are not

allowed to post anything that may be offensive that can hurt or effect another user, no

matter what social media, if they would post an image of a user, the user is able to report it

off which then Facebook will take it off, there are also codes of practise which govern selling

on the internet which many business or sites.

Whistle blowing is someone who exposes misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity

occurring in an organisation, is also one of the ethical issues which users can relate to, this is

when an employee which they can use and relate to. This is when an employee raises a

concern about a business practise either to management within the company or to an

outside organisation such as the press. In this case Facebook users will be reporting or

whistle blowing to the owners of Facebook if any danger would happen like a crime, cyber

bullying, fraud or posting posts that offend other users. Facebook users usually have trouble

trying to take down either a false post. Usually under an image on Facebook it gives the user

a chance to decide what they want to do with the picture. Such as removing a tag, spam, or

reporting the image so that those people will receive a message from Facebook notifying

them to remove a post or image. Such reports and spams and other can be prevented from

the users from different social media too.

Organisational policies may have many policies to ensure that their businesses practices with

regard to information can be done more ethically, which could be anything from how they

manage information to ensuring marketing and other business practises are fair.

Information ownership in your day to day work, then you should be responsible such as

annual report, if you create it you are the information owner. If you own information, you

have to protect the information’s confidentiality and act with integrity when anything has to

be different with respect to the information.

Organisational Issues

Businesses including Chanel have to store and manage their business and a lot of their

information, all their information have fundamental issues that they will insure that their

organisation receives the information required also knowing which staff receive those

particular information. However a number of policies and procedures have to be in place

concerning particular security of the information’s, their back up in case of lost information,

health and safety and different organisational policies, this is to make sure that the

information are managed properly which is why these policies are needed for Chanel.

For security of information it is important that Chanel management of who can view and

update information which can be a variety of things; everyone in the organisation, an

authorised list, more controlled people following different rules. The right information

available whenever they may need it, in order to make the best decisions they can possibly

make, so information security is needed to deal with maintaining honesty and availability of

Chanel’s information and knowledge of the organisation. For example Chanel has a rule for

their Facebook security, how it is illegal to use someone’s personal information and use it to

make another account so it is useful for Chanel to protect their information. Security

information should be used in their many social media as there can be problems occurring,

such as hackers which may hack into their systems. Although Chanel’s Facebook and other

social media and currently open to people they have people which make sure that there is no

information that is not needed to the audience, unlike other Facebooks which you can have

other personal information. Chanel has policies which relate to the use of their information

to make sure that different decisions don’t affect staff, they need to first see if is

understandable, also if the policies meet the legal requirements and also take account of

other impacts. These policies make sure that the staff have leadership to help obey the

legislations, and also Chanel needs to make sure that constant decisions are made because it

is especially important for internal communication because they handle customers. However

for all these policies Chanel needs to think about cost, as it’s always involved, for example

deciding what policies to take and different measurements they need to see what benefits

their company. However they need to consider a few things such as, cost of development, for

example is their answer available or will they have to spend time developing it themselves.

Another thing is additional resources, this is for if Chanel wants to purchase new equipment

for their company or employ new staff. Most businesses including Chanel will have backups

which are very important this is to back up their system, for example internal data and also

customer data, which can be due to health and safety. For backups organisations need to

defend their data loss or any processing problems, this information would have to be backed

up regularly, this can depend on the company whether they do a full back up or only

particular aspect of the company. There are also a few health and safety regulations for

example for using screens and monitors, computers and desks etc… should be positioned

appropriately, so this may be necessary for those working in an office of Chanel, also a

health and safety may be that they have regular eye checks if using computers every day,

also having daily breaks away from the computer.
