The Data Protection (Subject Access Modification) (Social Work) Order 2000
This Order provides for the partial exemption from the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998, which confer rights on data subjects to gain access to data held about them, of certain data where the exercise of those rights would be likely to prejudice the carrying out of social work by causing serious harm to the physical or mental health or condition of the data subject or another person (article 3(1)). The Order does not apply to any data to which the Data Protection (Subject Access Modification) (Health) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/413), the Data Protection (Subject Access Modification) (Education) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/414) or any order made under section 38(1) of the Act applies (article 3(2)).
