Personal information
Your personal data is important to this Council. We promise to
process your personal information in accordance with
the Data Protection Act, for legitimate Council
purposes only. We will only pass your details to another agency if
it is required by law or that agency is relevant to your
enquiry.
National Fraud Initiative and data matching
Suffolk Coastal is required by law to protect the public funds
it administers. We may share information provided to us with other
bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds, in
order to prevent and detect fraud.
The Audit Commission currently requires us to participate in a
data matching exercise to assist in the prevention and detection of
fraud. The Audit Commission is responsible for running the
National Fraud Initiative (new window) and
carrying out data matching exercises.
Data matching involves comparing computer records held by one
body against other computer records held by the same or another
body. This is usually personal information. Computerised data
matching allows fraudulent claims and payments to be identified.
Where a match is found it indicates that there is an inconsistency
which requires further investigation. No assumption can be made as
to whether there is fraud, error or other explanation until an
investigation is carried out.
We are required to provide
particular sets of data (new window) to
the Audit Commission for matching for each exercise.
For this initiative, we are providing details of our electoral
register, staff, debtors and creditors, insurance claimants,
Housing Benefit claimants, Council Tax payers, concessionary travel
users, market/street trader licence holders, personal licences for
the supply of alcohol holders, private hire and taxi drivers.
The use of data by the Audit Commission in a data matching
exercise is carried out with statutory authority under its powers
in Part 2A of the Audit Commission Act 1998. It does not require
the consent of the individuals concerned under the Data Protection
Act 1998.
Data matching by the Audit Commission is subject to a
code of practice (new window) which can also
be found on its website.
If you have an enquiry or concern regarding the processing of
personal data by Suffolk Coastal District Council, please
