Just a quick one.
Our policy states we monitor our contractors when they are on site. Would it be acceptable to us CCTV to do this?
All CCTV notices are in place at the entrance to site and I believe that the system is registered with the ICO

Don't "believe" - check! Ensure your registered purposes cover your intended use of the footage and its retention / deletion. Then there is the flip side - whilst you may record what they are doing can CCTV advise them how to behave, what they should be doing, intervening at the time they start doing things wrong (TOO LATE after the event). Monitoring third parties is more than just recording their activity. Every time I see an article announcing the arrival of CCTV to "tackle crime" - WRONG, it merely records. You need boots on the ground to influence behaviours, catch perpetrators and intervene before the crime escalates. Same with road side cameras - all they do is identify a number plate and from that information the last known registered keeper who was honest enough to provide details to the DVLA. As we see more low emission zones cloning is becoming a serious issue that cameras alone cannot solve. Cameras do not catch drunks, drug drivers, those without a licence / MOT / Insurance - that needs "monitoring" by the police officers.
