In reply to Malcolm Harding.
Hello Malcolm. Thanks for your query. In so far as compliance with the provisions of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice, the principles within the Code apply to body worn video cameras if you are deploying them overtly in public places. In that regard the Commissioner has provided a bespoke Self Assessment Tool (SAT) which you should complete, publish and review at least annually. A template form may be accessed by the following link and provides a 'whole system' approach to those requirements:

The Information Commissioner's Office has separately issued a Code of Practice to assist operators of CCTV surveillance camera systems comply with their Data Protection Act responsibilities relevant to personal information, the content of which you should consider and is accessible via the following link:

I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact the office directly if we can be of furthe assistance.
