Re: Official Secrets Act
When I started in the late nineties we were told what to do in certain scenarios for example if someone approached you in the street and said I'm looking for "Mr & Mrs Smith" under no circumstances tell them which house they live at.

Re: Official Secrets Act
Q.“I have heard that Royal Mail officials must enter/agree to the Official Secrets Act. If this is true what effect does this have on Freedom of Information? Also, what purpose is served by having postal workers enter such an agreement?”
A.All Royal Mail Group employees are required to sign a ‘Personal Declaration’ upon
commencing their employment. This covers the responsibilities of Royal Mail and its
employees in terms of safeguarding mail, how to deal with confidential information, our
internal Code of Business Standards and the Data Protection Act 1998. The ‘Personal
Declaration’ is not part of the Official Secrets Act, and the form makes no reference to this Act.
PERSONAL DECLARATION
From memory, many, many moons ago we possibly had to sign the official OCA.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
