"Constructive & Collaborative"
I found the audit process a constructive and collaborative one; our meetings included extended and in-depth conversations where I was challenged on aspects of data protection and information governance processes and procedures in the college, and asked to provide evidence for points that were raised, but also allowed to broaden the scope of the conversation to include upcoming changes and longer term plans. The combination of challenge on current procedures, and inquiry on the medium to long term, made for a robust process.
