How we can help with DSAR
Managing a DSAR can take significant time, particularly when a request covers several years, involves a large volume of documents, or arises alongside an employee relations issue.
You'll have a dedicated consultant who can hold regular update meetings with your team and provide practical support throughout the process. We can help you:
- establish clear parameters for the request
- manage correspondence with the employee
- review the documents identified through your searches
- identify duplicate or irrelevant material
- redact information where appropriate
- identify legally privileged material
- flag information that may present a wider risk to your organisation
- maintain a clear tracker of documents and decisions throughout the process
- keep the response moving within the required timescales
Support when employee relations are already difficult
DSARs often arise when an employment relationship has become strained.
An employee may feel they haven't been heard, disagree with how a grievance or disciplinary process has been handled, or want more information about decisions that have been made.
That can leave HR managing the DSAR at the same time as an ongoing employee relations matter.
Our consultants understand that wider context. As documents are reviewed, we can flag material that may need further attention and work with you to manage the HR implications alongside the request itself.
