Is this a breach of GDPR?

I work in a school and the local shop showed me CCTV footage of a pupil stealing. Was he wrong to show this to me. The Safeguarding Lead is saying he should not have done so.

What utter tosh!

No one reads the Data Protection Act properly - it only applies to 'sensitive' data - that's things like medical, bank and personal information.

Viewing a video doesn't even come under GDPR - what is your manager on about?

Is their nose out of joint because you knew something they didn't?

What you say is utter tosh !

It is not just sensitive data.

when you work in an environment where people’s data is handled you are obliged to apply to GDOR.

I suggest you google GDPR legislation.

i work in an environment where adherence to GDPR is of paramount importance and I’ve known staff dismissed the even looking at a file they weren’t working in, so no it’s not ‘tosh’.

@Newyorklady did you give shop keeper any names

Giving a name is NOT a breach of GDPR! Where did you get that from?

It is if she knows them through her work at the school. It could potentially pose a safeguarding risk to the child.

They were in school uniform, but op has stated she hasn’t revealed any names (and doesn’t actually know their names).
