This includes some specified types of processing. You can use our screening checklists to help you decide when to do a DPIA.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›It is also good practice to do a DPIA for any other major project which requires the processing of personal data.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›Your DPIA must:‹¨›ul‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›describe the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing;‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›assess necessity, proportionality and compliance measures;‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›identify and assess risks to individuals; and‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›identify any additional measures to mitigate those risks.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›/ul‹˜›‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›To assess the level of risk, you must consider both the likelihood and the severity of any impact on individuals. High risk could result from either a high probability of some harm, or a lower possibility of serious harm.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›You should consult your data protection officer (if you have one) and, where appropriate, individuals and relevant experts. Any processors may also need to assist you.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›If you identify a high risk that you cannot mitigate, you must consult the ICO before starting the processing.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›If you are processing for law-enforcement purposes, you should read this alongside the ‹¨›a title‹´›‹²›Guide to Law Enforcement Processing (Part 3 of the DP Act 2018)‹²› href‹´›‹²›https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-law-enforcement-processing/‹²› data-id‹´›‹²›30941‹²›‹˜›Guide to Law Enforcement Processing‹¨›/a‹˜›.‹¨›/li‹˜›‹¨›li‹˜›The ICO will give written advice within eight weeks or 14 weeks in complex cases.
