To: Branches with POSTAL Members

Dear Colleague

CCTV Code of Practice

Following recent conduct cases involving 2 of our members and a request made from the floor at the recent National Romec Briefing we have decided to re issue the existing CCTV Code of Practice. This has remained unchanged since 2008 when it was originally issued to Branches by Martin Collins, CWU Assistant Secretary – Indoor.

However, as a consequence of the conduct cases referred to above we have sought further assurances from both Romec and Royal Mail regarding access to CCTV images and the use of such information in future, and can confirm that in addition to the bullet points under the heading ‘General’ as contained in the Code of Practice both parties have agreed the following statements.

Before using CCTV images in a conduct case manager’s will need to gain prior written authority from the appropriate Head of Industrial Relations who will certify whether or not the use of the images is consistent with the code of practice. (Royal Mail)
Prior to using CCTV images in a conduct case in this way, managers will need to gain prior written authority from Romec's Head of Employee Relations who will certify that in his view the use of the images is consistent with the Code of Practice.(Romec)

Both statements which are welcomed should ensure that the requirement for such information has gone through a due process before any operational manager can gain access.

Any enquiries to Bob Gibson’s Office, quoting reference 250 & 590
Email address: hnutley@cwu.org or mstewart@cwu.org

Yours sincerely

Bob Gibson
Assistant Secretary
